Saturday we went to Eugene because kind Aunt Jess offered to babysit Sophia while we went out to a movie and dinner. Unfortunately, we neglected to consult Sophia about these plans and she was having none of it! She was asleep when we left her at Jess' apartment and when she woke up she didn't know where she was, why we weren't there, and wasn't sure she knew who this Aunt Jess person was anyway. After enduring a wailing baby for probably far too long, Jess called us (thank goodness for cell phones) and we left our movie and we went back for Sophia. Sophia was all smiles and happiness after that, of course!
The good thing about all of it was that we changed our plans and Jess and Sophia went out to dinner with us, and time spent with Jess is always time well spent.
We had been feeling bad that Barry was away today and would not see Sophia, but when he hears about the crying baby, he'll probably be glad he was climbing a mountain instead. Thanks for the attempt, Jess, and we're sorry!
