Proud Moment

I just had to post a little tid bit about our dinner out...
So, usually a dinner out for Ash and I means that one of us eats as the other attempts to feed Caitlyn while she squirms outta her highchair and then ends up chasing her all around the restaurant because she HATES sitting in and eating... then we switch while the other one of us eats our cold dinner and the other plays chase! Well, tonight we went to Black Angus for Ash's Uncle's B-Day (not the best food) and Little Miss Caitlyn ate a whole roll of bread (while in her high chair), then she ate salad croutons, carrots, and baked potato soup (all while still in her high chair) and then for her main course she had orange slices, macaroni and cheese and fries (still seated). For dessert, she ate icecream with sprinkles... and she did all of this while sitting in her highchair!!! I know this sounds silly to blog about but it made a world of difference on how our night turned out. She is now peacefully in bed and I am SO HAPPY AND PROUD!!!
Thanks, Caitlyn, for having such good manners tonight!

congrats! I can remember packing up our meal a time or two when Abby was little cause she wouldn't behave at a restaurant! Baby steps! :-)

Good for Cait! And it seems like she ate quite a bit of food, too! Isn't life with a toddler interesting and unpredictable? You just never know what they'll do from one minute to the next...

love ya!

Erin, Taylor has always been a great eater with nice manners when we go out...until I read this post!! We went out for Mexican food on Friday night and literally asked them to pack it up to go before it even got to our table because it turned into such a disaster trying to keep her from throwing a fit and getting out of her high chair!! I don't think we'll be going out much if this is her new thing! :)

Damn that Caitlyn is getting to be more and more like her Dziadzia. Now if she would just come to me and give me a hug!
