Big Night Out

Well...at about 3:00 in the afternoon on Tuesday, Gram, Cal, and Lyla loaded up and hit the road.  I only cried for as long as it took to fill up my bubble bath. She was very happy to go!  I waited over an hour before texting for an update.  She was asleep (in the car!!...never happens for me!), and doing great.   She slept the entire way there and then had a wonderful evening.   

Meanwhile, Dustyboy and I got ready to go and headed to Cheddars!  We had planned to go to a different restaurant that I've had a gift card for for a few months, but I accidentally left my wallet (and said gift card) in Lyla's backpack, which was then on its way to Texas.  So...we went to Cheddars.  It's closer and their onion rings were callin' my name!. :)  I had a ton of yummy food and a delicious painkiller.  

After that, and a brief text check-in...we headed downtown to the Thunder game.   Our seats were a littttle bit high up, but here's one picture with a little bit of zoom! ;) It was taken right after the Thunder won! 

Here's Lyles enjoying a new swing at Gram's house!

Lyla did wonderfully during the day, but the night time report was less than exemplary...  She didn't crash until 1, and even then, woke up twice for extended periods of time saying, "I need my mun.." sleeping about 3 hours total. Gram did a great job of sticking with her and when the sun came up, she was a happy camper again.  I decided to head that way to spare all 3 of us from another restless night, and we had a wonderful stay.We got the first night away out of the way, and I have tons of new night weaning tricks up my sleeve!  Everyone survived, Lyles can't wait to go back, and I got to have some much needed quality time with my husband. <3
