The first time away
A. and I left Sadie alone with Grandma for the first time today. Everyone seems to have survived.
We’d been holding off on dropping her with anyone (despite many offers) because of her unwillingness to drink happily from the bottle. But, I think over the past week we’ve been able to nail it; we changed the bottle we were using, and we heated the milk to a warmer temperature than before. Magical.
So now, the baby is transferable. We can start taking little trips out to dinner, to a movie or a show, maybe even to a Red Sox game — only six weeks until spring training!
