Date Night

Cyrus keeping his head warm

Ryenn takes up a great deal of our time. (yes, i realize that she is supposed to) When you become a parent more is taken from you than sleep. You realize that you can't really have a pleasant evening out. You have become the table with the screaming child, the messy floor, and the random flying objects. All the people at the restaurant are gawking at you now!!

Ryenn and Tigger hanging out
Needless to say, John and I need a break every now and then. Fortunately Grandma Lisa comes to the rescue! She has not yet seen the evils of little precious baby Ryenn. (the rose colored glasses are reinforced by super glue) On Friday nights, my wonderful mother brings her belongings and sleeps over at our house. She babysits while John and I go on a date. Then she plays mommy during the night so that we can actually sleep!

Picture of Cyrus for your amusement

She deserves some type of monument erected for her. Ryenn is a challenge. She falls into fits of hysterics if anyone but mommy tries to put her to sleep. It is seriously ridiculous! This week she has been battling a cold, so she has been even more difficult than usual. She even decided that it was time to wake up from 5:00am-6:30am to watch t.v. (and she hadn't fallen asleep until after midnight! I love my mom and we need to buy her something pretty. (because that could have been me!!)
