Emily volunteered to babysit last night so Karen and I could go out on a date.  I didn't realize how badly we needed one until she asked me when the last time K and I had been out together without Theo and I couldn't tell her.  The date was cool, we ate Burmese food in Rockridge, played pinball in Alameda, and listened to a retired fireman tell gruesome stories while we drank strange fruity concoctions at a cool Tiki bar.  Oh yeah, and we even managed to stop by the late night Oakland taco truck before making it home.

But that's not the best part. 

Theo slept all night.

From 8:00pm to 5:00am.  After a couple sips from a bottle he went back down again until 9am. 

I know it's probably a fluke, but I had to share my excitement.
