Baby was along for date night tonight. He spent the day freaking out if I even turned around, let alone went out of the room, so we decided to not risk leaving him without me for the evening. No sense making him even more scared than he already was.
What else went on today? Sigh. My brain is fried, and it's late.
Let's go chronologically for Thursday:
