Yesterday, I had probably the worst night out with Baby #1. Well, it was our fault for taking her out at the time when she is usually winding down for the night and we were just heading out. It was our friend's baby's 30th day celebration. The minute we got there she started up crying and screaming to be taken out of her car seat. We had to walk her in our arms the entire night! She didn't even want to sit on my lap. The night went on and she wouldn't go to sleep either. To top things off, she was drooling so much that her entire bib was soaked by the end of the night! It just got worse and worse. I barely had anything to eat or drink and my husband and I had to take turns holding her.
The table we were sitting at had a young couple and people who didn't really speak english. I felt bad for not socializing with them, but Baby #1's screaming and crying was the only thing on my mind. My husband on the other hand had NO problem eating and talking with everyone.
I finally took her out of the restaurant and forced her in the stroller and walked up and down the halls of the shopping plaza for 40 min. before she finally fell asleep. It was 10:30pm at that time and it was 11:30 by the time we got home. Never, EVER again will I take her out to a restaurant past her bed time. Lesson learned.
