So we said goodbye to the baby and left to go out to dinner and do a bit of shopping. The hour long car ride was nice as I was able a) drive and b) sit next to the Chief. We had lots of good conversation on the way there. We went to Montana's and both of us ordered ribs. I love ribs, but eating ribs when you have a baby that often wants to be held is not easy so I took the opportunity to eat them. They were finger-licking, get sauce everywhere good.
After our meal, we went over to the mall where we bought Benjy his new carseat and books for him with a giftcard I had one from the local health unit. Then we went to Walmart and bought things like shampoo. Very Thrilling.
After that we proceed to drive home. This time the Chief drove. When we got home, Benjy was asleep on the couch and began smiling in his sleep when he heard our voices.
Unfortunately, he did not have as good of a time with his Memere. He very much wanted me and refused to take a bottle. He cried for 4 out of the 5 hours we were gone. His Memere held him the whole time and I can't imagine it was pleasant to hold a crying baby for that long. He was happy in his bath, but started to cry again. Unfortunately it was rainy out so she couldn't even take him for a walk to get a change of scenery.
I think he is used to his night time routine of nursing and did not find a bottle to be an acceptable alternative. He does takes bottles occasionally, but I think I am going to have to give him some bottles more often to get him used to it. So the Chief and I decided that will be the last date night for a while. We have gone out during the day and he was fine so we will have to stick to date days.
