A Relaxing Lunch Out

There is nothing relaxing about eating out with a 9mnth old. We went to Chili's, because i was hankering for a cheeseburger. Drew was very well behaved, didn't make much noise and was cute as always, but there was nothing relaxing about it. Before we got food he entertained himself with those little cardboard coasters, in this case, Sam Adams. Then the food came and immediately he reached for my plate (no one said he's not bright). So Erika gave him a Zwiback (as seen in the video) but that didn't last long. He started to let us know vocally that he wanted more than dried toast. So we started give him pieces of our food. From my plate, mushed french fries and from Erikas small pieces of a cheese quesadilla. He LOVED it, but it was no different than if we ate at home. And it was even more stressful because if he starts loudly expressing his deisre for more food, which he is skilled at, its fine and cute at home, but in a restaurant thats not cool.

So, in the future; Drew stays home, we go out. Grammie, you are on notice.
