We lasted a solid five months before we sent The Youngling packing. Well, packing for the night. Saturday night was the first time in just over five months that the baby has spent the night away from dad or mom. And the amazing part is that we all survived just fine.
After five months, a break is deserved and after the day leading up to that break it was welcome. With two separate rounds of baby puke before noon on Saturday, dad needed a break.
I found it amazing that a little girl could
vomit sometime during the night and sleep through it. She didn't stir
and we didn't notice until she woke up around 9 AM (yes, 9 AM). Her tiny
pajamas and tiny sheet along with her tiny mattress pad protecting her
tiny mattress were damp but warm. 9 AM is the perfect time to begin your
laundry if you were wondering.
Then after a morning nap, cereal and a bottle, we decided that the bottle - all five ounces of it - was a bit too much. She expressed those feelings on mom's new (thankfully) white shirt, the couch and the hardwood floor. Hooray, more laundry!
Luckily, grandma had a far drier time as The Youngling had her first sleepover. As for me, it's time to get back into the habit of feeding her cereal. This break is officially over.
