Spencer's First Sleep Over

In an effort to help our friends Phil and Nikki celebrate their 8th anniversary in style, we offered to watch Gaby for the weekend so they could get away for a romantic overnight stay at Cavallo Point in Sausalito.


As we suspected, Gaby was no trouble at all - in fact, she provided non-stop entertainment for Spencer the entire time. They spent most of Saturday afternoon playing with a pile of rocks in our backyard - making "sweetie pies," "coffee," and "banana cake."


At the end of the evening, we threw them into the bathtub to clean off the impressive amount of dirt caked on to their faces. In fair turnaround, Gaby pooped in the tub, requiring us to do a full-blown disinfection of the kids, our bathroom, and the bath toys. (Click here for a hilarious post describing Phil and Nikki's traumatic experience with Spencer the last time they babysat him.) Finally, diapers and pajamas were put on, the kids romped around a little longer, Ryan read a few bedtime stories, and by 9pm, Spencer and Gaby were fast asleep, just a few feet away from one another. Tyler fell asleep shortly thereafter and we had a nice, quiet evening with 3 kids in the house. Sunday went equally smoothly... We'll probably kick ourselves later for saying this, but based on our experience this weekend, we'd be happy to watch Gaby any time. :)
