Our First Date

without Thomas since he was born.

We went with friends to Impulse Theater in downtown Denver tonight. It's a live improv show like "Whose line is it Anyway?" I love that TV show, but was skeptical at what a production in the basement of a tavern may be like. It was cheek-numbingly funny (thanks Chris, for just the right word) and good, clean humor, too. For 90 minutes, I did not stop smiling.

Now let me back up...first date without Thomas...This afternoon, he would not nap. He needs naps. I hoped, though, that this meant he would fall asleep earlier and stay asleep. He did zonk just before I picked up the babysitters.

Two adorable, fun, energetic sisters agreed to watch Thomas for the evening. Before the production even began, I beheld this lovely text, "Thomas is crying like crazy. What do you do to calm him down?" I had just enough time to send a few suggestions before we were in the "no-phone-zone".

Long story short, we enjoyed the show. Arrived home before 10. Tommy did have some good time with the girls, but when I picked him up out of his crib, he was hysterical. Poor kid, but really, poor girls.

This night was oh-so good for Chris and me. Some much needed fun time to ourselves. However, Mr. T shared his 2 cents...he's just not ready for a successful babysitting experience just yet.
He was happy to see me. That, and crazy-happy-sad-tired! I held him no longer than a minute in his room before he was asleep.

I've heard about that theater. I think Mary Enge told me about it way back whem. Weird that I remember that. But I'm glad you guys got to go out on a date, even if Thomas wasn't a fan.
