Noah experienced his first baby-sitting session outside of daycare this weekend. Our awesome friends, Greg and Vivan (who braved cat allergies to watch Noah), took care of him so we could watch The Watchmen. Even before Noah was born, Grant had set this movie as the first baby-free date we would have.
Greg and Vivan said Noah was good, so I'm glad about that. He didn't sleep well by himself, per usual, thus it looks like they had to hold him to make him sleep (see evidence below). But they said they would baby-sit again, so I'm hoping that means the experience wasn't traumatic overall.
Even though I knew Noah was in good hands, I still held onto my cell phone the entire movie so I wouldn't miss it vibrating. I need to be eased out of my paranoia, give me some time.
Movie was good. Some lady brought her approximately 10 year old son and 5 year old daughter to it. They sat behind us. At one point Grant stood up and told the lady that he had read the comic and that it is super violent. That caused the lady to take her daughter out of the theater, but not her son. I'm not judging, because I feel I was allowed to watch quite violent/sexually suggestive stuff as a kid and have grown up not to be some weird deviant, but definitely I was more uncomfortable during the sex scenes knowing a 10 year old boy was behind me.
In other news, I made a mistake this weekend. I accidentally put a disposable diaper (a clean one, thankfully), into the washing machine. This makes a big mess, do not try at home. Grant spent quite a while cleaning up my mistake. Note-To-Self, try not to put diapers too close to the dirty clothes pile. Or better Note-To-Self, try to put dirty clothes into a hamper and not on floor in the first place.
Finally, Noah had to adjust to Spring Forward. He handled it pretty well. Luckily for us, he was super tired last night and went to bed at 5:30 pm (which would be like 4:30 pm pre-time change for him), so maybe this will help with the transition. We'll see over the next couple of days. This is yet another reason why I wish there weren't time changes, it's hard on children and adults alike.
Karla - Our first date was to the Watchmen, too, this past Friday. And I, too, spent the entire movie with my cell phone in my hand.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, halfway through the movie Randy called from from his cell phone (remember, he was sitting right next to me) just to check that it was still working, since we hadn't received a phone call. So, I'm right there with you!
