A very belated "thank you"

Damian and I have been enjoying more date nights lately (not that we weren't enjoying them previously...we just weren't having them) thanks to Jay and Jessica. Jay has watched the kiddos a couple times, including on our anniversary:
Ellie just loves Jay and gets SO excited when he comes to play with her. For weeks after his last visit, she would go running into the front yard calling "Jay? Jay?" and try to convince me that he was coming -- we just had to wait.
We've also been swapping date nights with Jessica (Cain's sweet mom). And Ellie absolutely adores her too! In fact, the last two times that Jess has watched her, she has woken up the next morning and cried (literally!) when she discovered that Jess was gone and she was stuck with us. Even a little bribery with her favorite morning milk wouldn't stop the "I want Cain's mommy!" cries. So the good news is that the date nights are great for our marriage...the bad news is that they're terrible for my self-confidence. ;-)
We're so lucky to have such great friends -- thank you guys!

That is fantastic that you can go out and enjoy the evening knowing the kids are in such great hands. It shouldn't damage your ego that Ellie loves having babysitters - it's a sign that she is happy and secure!

Ditto to what Mom said... Ellie's attachment to other people is a GREAT thing! And going out is definitely good for all of you!
