Left with the Babysitter

Last Saturday night Mom and Dad decided to go to the TAILS Humane Society Annual Fund Raiser, which meant that we needed a babysitter.  Well, we didn't really need a babysitter but Mason did.  Miss Pattie, G and Uncle Connor all came up for the night to watch Mason.  They had to feed him dinner, give him a bath AND put him to bed (which no one but Mommy has ever been able to do).  Now by the looks of his sweet little face, one would think it would be no trouble at all...

 But Mason is quite the Mama's Boy and does not usually do well if Mom leaves for too long, so everyone was holding their breath to see how this would go.  To everyone's surprise it went really well!  Mom and Dad walked out the door and there were no baby tears!  Mason ate a big dinner (he loves food) and played for awhile before his bath.  After bath time he got a story and a bottle and was ready to be put to bed.  He didn't care much for the bottle, and laid down and started to go to sleep.  It started to go south for a few minutes when he began fighting sleep.  He would yell out and then lay perfectly still as if he were asleep and this went on for a few mintues and then he went to sleep and not a peep was heard from him for almost four hours.

Mom and Dad came home (with some exciting news to be shared in a further blog) and he was still sleeping!  Then it was time to go to bed, and just as Mom predicted, Mason woke up as soon as Mom went into the bedroom.  The smell of Mommy was just too enticing for Mason and he woke himself up and it was a typical night from there.

Maybe next time Mom and Dad have a babysitter Mom should just stay out all night!
