To celebrate, we ended up going to a very nice Italian restaurant. With a name like Salvatore, Italian is a given.
It was going to be one of those long family dinners - appetizer, salad, main course, drinks, dessert - the works.
You would think after almost 7 years of parenthood I would have learned by now. Learn what you ask? To bring reinforcements! A coloring book, crayons, stickers. ANYTHING!!
But no - not me.
This is what happens with a 4 year old without reinforcements.
It starts out slow,
then the restlessness really sets in.
"Even I can balance" ("even" is her current favorite word)
"even I can make funny faces"
Don't let this happen to you!
How do you handle restaurants with your kids?

My kids are older now so restaurants aren't a problem, but when they were younger we would only go to "kid friendly" places. I know that sounds like Dennys, but there are lots of nice restaurants that cater to families. We would search out the ones that brought crayons to the table and provided a children's menu. I find that when the waiter is nice to the kids the kids are much better behaved, so we would avoid anyplace that didn't seem to like kids.
