Going out for the night

We had our first night out since Sophie's arrival last night - going out for a meal with a group of friends. When Jessica was a baby we used to take her with us but now that she has a more fixed routine, we can't really bring her along as it is too late for her and she would get grouchy and tired. Much better for her to have time with Grandma and go to bed at a sensible time! Sophie, however, has no fixed routine as yet and so came out with us and slept through most of the evening!
