During our two week holiday in Spain my parents offered to look after the Baby for two nights so the Mummy and I could go and see the sights of Malaga. Here’s a breakdown of those two days in pictures.
A somewhat abrupt end but ah the lightness of not lugging around a ton of stuff, not worrying about nap times, sleeping through the night, lie-ins, siestas plus a generous helping of beer and tapas. I think we added 5 years to our lifespans. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!
A lovely break for you both, Malaga has got to make for a brilliant date night 🙂
Thanks for linking up to #AnythingGoes (sorry it’s taken so long, busy week!)

It does indeed. A bit of an elevation from our usual date nights. Thanks for hosting.

I love when we have date night and my parents take the kids for just a few hours…i can only image over nights and sleeping in…oh sleeping in, how missed you are!

Indeed. I thought I have to get up to pee a few times a night but it turns out I can sleep through for 8 hours without even rolling over when there isn’t a baby squawking down the monitor next to my head.

It’s brilliant when parents help out with the kids. I miss having my mum help out…(as she is in New Zealand). I’m pleased that you got small break! I’m having three days off from parenting in two weeks and I’m looking forward to some time for me…but at the same time, i’ll miss my daughter…but I will make the most of it!

Yes, it’s tough when your support is so far away but it does mean that we really make the most of it on the few occasions it’s available. Enjoy your much deserved time off x

Up at 4.30am for the day? Ouch. Especially bad if you’re not used to it. Our tot got up early and woke up a bunch of times too- just to add insult to injury.
