Gramma's touch

Last night was the second night in 15 months that Sienna's dad and I went out without her. The first night actually shouldn't count...we dropped her off to her grandmother's house so we could go to the movies. What do we see? A documentary about babies!!! I get mommy guilt every time I leave her. Being a full-time, working mom, who still breastfeeds, I feel every minute I am not at work, I should be with her. Going to the gym wasn't something that I would even consider, until recently when I noticed my bum is not where it used to be. Now she goes with me, for one hour she plays in the daycare.
When a co-worker offered tickets to opening night at the US Open, I didn't hesitate to take them. Kevin and I have been going every year together since we met. For a split second, we considered bringing Sienna then laughed when simultaneously we imagined her screaming in the middle of a match point serve, all of us then being escorted out by security being blacklisted from ever returning. The decision to leave her with gram was easy.
Sienna didn't nap until we were dropping her to the sitter at 4:30. Her grandmother would pick her up on her way home from work. We checked in around 9pm and gram said she was awake, watching Wonder Pets. I feared a phone call from gramma saying she was inconsolable and wouldn't go to sleep, yet the phone never rang. We called on the way home at 11pm. Sienna was sound asleep.
When we arrived to pick her up at 12:30, she was still asleep. When I picked her up from the bed, she was asleep. When I laid her into her carseat and buckled her up, Sienna stayed asleep! When we got home, I took her out of the carseat, still asleep, I encouraged her to nurse. After five minutes, I laid her down in her bed. Sienna still slept.
She slept until 5am, nursed and went back to sleep until 7am. I called gram to ask what she gave my daughter... what her secret was. She denied drugging her, instead saying she ate a big dinner, played outside and watched TV. When she started getting fussy, gramma picked her up and laid her in her lap tickling her little arms, legs and face until she fell asleep. I was flabbergasted. Sienna barely lets me touch her face when I am trying to get her to sleep. How did she do it and will she take her every night?! Last night was the first night in 12 months that Sienna slept through.
