Last Friday I had a much needed night out with the girls for Chloe’s surprise baby shower. I think it is healthy to get a little time away from the kiddo every now and then, so I appreciate her that much more when I return. Plus I think it is very important for Simeon to have some one-on-one time with Ana.

For those of you who don’t remember,
last time I went out was a little tough on Sim. In fact, I was surprised how willing he was to take care of her this time. I guess Ana’s overall demeanor has really mellowed out in the last few weeks (not that she wasn’t mellow before, just fussier) which has served to boost Sim’s confidence in his ability to take care of her. He is learning her different cries, knows how to calm her down, and understands what she does (and more importantly, what she doesn’t) like. Apparently the combination of all these factors made for a much more successful evening. She actually took the bottle, went to sleep willingly, and everyone was happy and resting when I finally came home.

Make sure you read Sim’s version of the nights events too!
