Dinner Out
February 28, 2004 on 10:04 pm | In Main |The family went out to eat tonight, for the first time in a while. We went to Cortney’s favorite, the Red Lobster. When going out to eat, I am always nervous that the kids won’t behave, and we have an unpleasant time. While waiting for our food to arrive, things started to look bad. Sean had climbed under the table, and Ethan was crying. Ethan acted like he was hungry, but wouldn’t eat. So, I took Ethan out of the high chair, and held him for a bit. I told Sean that he was not allowed under the table, and he had to sit on the seat properly and behave.
When the food arrived, Ethan had calmed down, and was happy to start eating again. Cortney ordered popcorn shrimp, which came with fries and applesauce. We gave the applesauce to Sean, and let Ethan pick at the fries and the shrimp. Once he discoved the shrimp, he was happy to eat those, and picked all of them out from the fries. Sean apparently listened to my warning, and behaved well for the rest of the meal.
So, despite the intial trouble, Cortney and I ended up enjoying a nice meal with Sean and Ethan. And, we are starting to see some maturation in both Sean and Ethan. Ethan is now eating a variety of foods, and Sean is able to sit still through most of a meal. This is big progress!
