I'm an enormous fan of letting one of the many sets of grandparents take Poppy for a sleepover. Babysitters are great for a date night planned on the fly, but locally or even quasi-locally based grandparents are the ideal supplementary caregivers. Let's face it...at this point, they probably love your baby more than they love you, therefore the grandparental sleepover is a mutually beneficial institution. They get to play with their beloved grandchild, you get to throw maturity and responsibility to the wind (or out the window...whichever you prefer) for an entire evening. When you and your significant other return home after a thorough romp about town, the air in the house has a light and peaceful quality reminiscent of days gone by. Point made.
