I had to run errands all morning and afterwards I went for lunch at Neiman Marcus cafe with my mom and Shane. He was amazing. He was awake when we sat at our table, then he might as well said, mom I’ll sleep quietly so you guys can enjoy lunch. He closed his eyes and slept through our lunch. It was such a treat to be able to sit and enjoy the meal, without having to feed anyone, picking up food and utensils off the floor, calming a screaming child (ahem, Chloe!), and apologizing to waiters for a broken plate. Yes! That actually happened when I took both kids to my favorite Chinese restaurant, P.F. Chang with my parents. Chloe was tired and hungry (very dangerous combination) so she was misbehaving at the table to say the least. I was trying to feed Shane and my mom was doing everything she could to calm Chloe down while we were waiting for the food. Then it happened. I remember it like a slow motion in a movie. Chloe threw a big white plate across the room. The restaurant is one big open space with alot of people chattering. Then all of sudden everyone went quiet, watching the plate shatter into pieces. All eyes were on me, as I put Shane back in his stroller, got up, picked up Chloe and walked out of the restaurant looking straight up. That happened about a month ago and I don’t think we’ll be going back to the restaurant anytime soon.
