Well, it's been 3 nights now. Last night Mae slept through, and won the Latest Sleeper contest to boot! Our sitter came at 6 and while we didn't sneak out (how can you with 2 boys hugging, kissing and saying good-bye to you?) we didn't actually get down on her level and say good bye. She was fine and only cried an hour later when K. picked her up to bring her upstairs for her bath. She went down fine and stayed down, thanks to K. religiously following our routine. She woke at 6am, which without this (%&*$) time change would have been 7, which is a record. I am thrilled and so so so relieved that she did so well with K. Whew! We are going to get back into Date Night once a month with a sigh of relief. Next month is sushi night...been planned with our friends for months and I was just hoping we would be able to go. "They" said to wait 6 months before having a sitter, and I'm glad we did. She goes to Karin on Mondays for 2 hours and Erin has graciously come over to watch them for a few hours every now and then, but this was the real deal. Dinner, bath, bottle, bed, the works...and she did it! We saw The Departed, which had a top-notch cast (but am I the only one on the planet who mix up both Leonardo & Matt? And why do I keep mixing up Jack Nicholson with Anthony Hopkins? What is wrong with me?) but was really a guy movie. So next time, I'm picking. Lovely dinner (tuna tartare and a side of garlic mashed potatoes! My idea of a perfect meal!) We even started the night off right with a cosmo (me) & martini (Paul) at Bloom. A great night and a wonderful time for the kids too. K. rocks. We spent the day the park today...it actually got HOT...and saw Isaiah & Nicky (or Mickey, as Sam calls him) so the boys were in heaven. Paul spent many hours this afternoon carving pumpkins with Ted, only to have Sam smash them while we weren't looking. Not out of malice...he seemed truly confused that they were 'boken' but WTH?! Paul was pretty mad. Our robot is the only surviver. He and 'Dopey-dopey' are gracing our doorstep this Halloween.

Settling in...
