We basically snuck out of the house while Chelsea was feeding Audrey to avoid anxiety we wouldn't be able to explain. Fortunately it turned out fine. After dinner they played, watched a little Jungle Book, read some books and Audrey went to bed at her usual 7PM after rubbing her eyes and laying her head on C shoulder. C said there were no tears but she kept repeating "mama" when she was changing her diaper/clothes for bed. During the night Audrey woke up once a little upset but I was able to shush her back to sleep and she woke up happy this morning too.
We went to dinner at Teak, then met some friends at the Wine Bar and went to this play at the Playhouse. Here is the description of The Piano Teacher from their web page:
The sweet, cookie-loving Mrs. K is the perfect picture of a caring grandmotherly piano teacher when she decides to look up some of her old students. Mrs. K unleashes a dark secret she can't quite understand ... this cunning play artfully blends past and present to explore the mystery and unpredictability of memory and the human heart.This afternoon the 3 of us are going to our first FCC (Families with Children from China) event. Audrey will actually be going to be babysat again (hopefully). Ideally we wouldn't be engaging in sitting events so close together but could not be avoided. FCC is hosting an adoption film by Dr. Chanfu Chang (" the professor of adoption films". The film is Long Wait for Home and Daughter's Return. It is a documentary profiling 3 birth families who share their adoption decisions. It gives an intimate look at the living conditions in Chinese orphanages. Then also follows a couple of adopted teens as they return to China. Babysitting is provided by 12 yo + FCC kids. Hopefully both of us will be able to see the film.
