Dinner time

Addison loves to go pretty much anywhere, but she especially loves to go out to eat. She likes the attention she gets. She likes sitting in the big girl highchairs, and eating food, and watching and making faces at all the people that walk by.

She loves the fact that she gets her own menu to choose from. She spends a lot of time trying to find the perfect meal that includes at least one veggie (that is mom's rule for eating out).

She also can use it as a substitute for food if they take to long to make her meal.

She also spends some of the time she is waiting to text all of her friends, she has gotten pretty fast with the typing now that she can coordinate both hands.

After she is done eating the waiter usually brings her a big balloon that she can squeeze and hug and squeal at.

and beat herself in the head with.
We don't get to go out nearly as much now that we have Addison. One, it is so darn expensive, plus we have to go out super early since she goes to bed by 7 every night. When Carlton is working I always cook since he doesn't get home until Addison is in bed, there is no way around that. I do love to get out and have someone else to everything and just get to sit back and enjoy my food without having to think about prep, clean up or any of that, it is just a fairly rare treat these days.
