Boys Night

Last night, my husband so graciously offered to keep the boys so I could attend a Christmas party at our church. It was so nice of him because we were both invited and only one of us could go (due to the lack of a babysitter). It was really nice that he chose me to be able to go rather than himself.
Anyway, apparently I should allow him to keep the boys more often because last night, Asher slept ALL NIGHT LONG! Can you believe it?! The kid's getting four teeth at one time, he wasn't nursed before he was put down, he didn't even have a bottle, but somehow Channing managed to put him down at 8:45 (a little past...ok a LOT past his normal bedtime) with no problem. He did wake up around 11:00, but I was still awake, so I fed him and quickly put him back to bed. Guess what?! I had to wake HIM up at 8:45 this morning so I could take Tristan to school. That hasn't happened in a LONG time!!!
I don't know what Channing did, but whatever it was...it worked! Tristan did give me a little insight to their night this morning on the way to school.
Tristan: Mommy, last night Asher was eating some candy. He started choking.
Me: Where did he get candy?!
Tristan: It was my candy. I set it down, and Asher crawled and found it. He was eating it, and he started choking.
Me: Where was Daddy?
Tristan: He was in the kitchen so I said, 'Daddy! Daddy! Asher's eating candy and choking!' Daddy said take it away from him. So I did and Daddy did too.
Yeah, when I asked Channing how the night went, this story never came up. Hmmmmmm.... Little mouths will spill all your secrets!
Regardless of that mishap, I think I will let Channing enjoy lots more nights alone with the boys since he's so good at it! :)
