Date Night

Last night we left Kaylee with a babysitter for the first time. Well, by babysitter, we mean someone who is not family. Amber is a teacher at Kaylee's school, and she loves ALL the teachers at her school, so we couldn't go wrong. We have been talking to Kaylee about Amber coming to watch her and she has been really excited. Yesterday, she asked all day when Amber was coming, where she was, etc. She only took a 1 hour nap because she was so excited. Amber got here a little before 6:00 and Kaylee was happy to see her but was a little shy at first. She warmed up quickly and when we left, she was not distressed at all....just wanted to wave goodbye to us. We had asked Amber to text us when she had fallen asleep, and when she did, she said Kaylee had done great and had gone to sleep perfectly. They both had a great time and so we did we. We saw a great movie called Extraoirdinary Measures about a family who has 2 children with a terrible disease called Pompe. I actually met the woman who is the godmother of the daughter in the movie. It is based on her cousin's life and how they worked so hard to find a medicine to help their children survive. It worked, and although the kids will always be in wheelchairs, they are no longer waiting to die. The medication, when given in infancy stops the disease and kids can go on to live almost normal lives. What a miracle! After the movie, we went to The Cheesecake Factory for dessert. Yummy! We will definitley be doing date nights more often. We are so blessed to have Kaylee at such a great school, where many of the teachers babysit and they are all wonderful.
