Adventures in babysitting

Lily and I survived our first babysitting adventure last night while Carl and Kathleen took in a musical. She really behaved like a champ, chowing down on a bottle and then proceeding to sleep for the next 4 hours. Can't ask for much more than that. Terra, on the other hand, was not happy about the whole family not being around - every car door that shut, every dog that barked, every voice she heard set her off. It is truly amazing to me that Terra can be right next to a sleeping Lily and be barking up a storm and Lily doesn't even move. I'd be worried about her hearing except that she does wake up whenever Terra shakes and her collar jingles. Selected listening.... Anyway, by 10pm Terra had worn herself out and she slept quite peacefully as well.
