For the first time in 1,392 days Ally will not be spending the night with one or more of her parents. She will be spending this evening with her Grammy and Grampa, and her Mommy and Daddy will be at a grown up party! This is a big step for all 3 of us. We are super happy Grammy and Grampa are willing to take on the medical needs of Ally for a night, and we will try not to rush home tomorrow morning, but savor the adult time. Yeah for us!

As we are preparing to pack her up for Grammy and Grampa's Ally just said to Daddy: "Let's just clean up." "What should I do and what will you do?" was Daddy's response. Ally's answer (in a tired voice): "You clean up and I will just watch."

I'll let you know how Ally's night went in my next post.
