A Lucas Bryant Proof Dinner Out

We didn't go out to eat much before Lucas was born, and we don't go out to eat much now, because of Lucas. It's really a lot to ask of him - to sit still for an hour. Tonight, however, I just really wanted to eat out so that we wouldn't have to deal with dishes. After 20 min of the usual "where do you want to go...I don't care, where do you want to go?", we decided on a cafe at North Hills. It's not great food, but we figured it is about the same as any other place that is Lucas Bryant proof.

We really had a great time. We got through dinner with only two trips outside - one with each parent - to explain to Lucas that we can't squeal in a restaurant like we do at home. Lucas sat in a booster seat, which was way more successful that the high chairs usually are, and he ate all of his veggies and pasta plus some of my potato. During dinner he asked for a cookie, so we told him that we'd go to the cookie store after dinner.... and we did! It is starting to be so fun to do things with Lucas in tow. We took him to the cookie store and he was excited, which was exciting for us. We ate our cookie on a bench outside, which was interesting because the place was buzzing with people that still have a social life. We ended the evening with 20 minutes in our favorite toy store (a.k.a indoor park). Of all of the toys in the store, Lucas spent the most times playing with the pens next to the check-out counter.
