Daddy on Duty

I did my first night away solo last weekend.

I had done a night away with my husband but this time it was a bachelorette party, and Babe and dad were on their own. It went swimmingly. She was an “angel” (of course), ate well (of course) and slept beautifully (well, of course). I was kinda hoping there would be a little sweat while I was gone so I’d get the “I don’t know how we could ever live without you! It is so much work!” response when I got home, but alas, my husband nailed it. I came home to a happy baby, no dirty dishes, and a house that was relatively clean. I’m surprised he didn’t just happen to whip up a homemade apple pie while he was at it. He kinda made me look bad. I guess I should be taking notes from him!

The getaway was in Palm Springs and I took full advantage of dressing the part. A fringed kimono, cutoff shorts, and fedora made me feel as though I was heading to Coachella.

It was so hard to say goodbye to Babe as she just turned 10 months and is literally doing something new every day. I was gone 24 hours and upon my return she was not only using her walker, but practically running with it!
