We rarely go OUT to dinner. We just don't have one of those kids that goes with the flow. He pretty much sets the current...and if we choose to go against, its not usually pretty. The last week has not been a pleasant one for us. It has almost seemed like Jack entered the terrible twos instead of merely turning one. He's been rather difficult. Our schedules were off. Trying to wean him from the bottle. He'd just gotten over being sick. He got shots. He has 2 teeth that are breaking through the surface as we speak. Not his fault--but it hasn't made it any easier. So far our life with a toddler has made us really miss what life was like with a baby.
Today, though, he was in much better spirits after a couple days at home (and after mommy discovered teething tablets--they actually have a warning on the box that your kid may fall asleep after taking--is that a bad thing?). So, anyway, we braved dinner after the haircut and it went quite well....as long as we kept the snacks coming. Stop the steady flow of puffs and crunchies and things get hairy real fast. But we had a nice time, and it was great to go to a rare dinner out as a family.
