The Best Compliment a Mom Can Receive


Den ditched us for dinner tonight so he could do a work dinner. Only problem was we didn't learn this until 7pm, so Eddie had another late night. Poor guy. At least we are finding that he does okay with a goofed up schedule. As we left the hotel, a woman got off on the wrong floor, explaining that she had been distracted by the adorable smile Eddie was flashing. Cracked me up. Course how many times have YOU gotten off the wrong floor because of a cute guy/gal?

We went to a resturant that was equally as close as the one last night (love being able to walk to so much), but at least they had highchairs. I was a little aprehensive when they didn't have children's menus, but the woman cheerfully explained they usually give the kids a partial pasta plate. Eddie has subsisted off of pasta, brocoli, cheese, applesauce, tomato, and bread (plus an odd meat, depending on what we eat).

They seated us at a table in a small room with 3 other groups. I got nervous when Eddie started banging on the table, but surprising to me, each time I distracted him with the 'ole, "where's your nose?" game, he fell for it. I mean, how many more times will that work? He kept looking around, seeming to be looking for someone with whom to flirt. When the couple immediately behind him (who were speaking French) failed to even notice his existance, he tried extra hard, flashing his smile and bouncing in his seat. Eventually he won them over and at the end of the meal, the man in the party commented on how well behaved Eddie was. Such music to my ears--as well behaved as a 15 month old can be.

Eddie also got his first kiss tonight from a girl named Addie who picked him up in the bar part of the resturant. She's his buddy Lizzie's age and pecked him on the cheek twice while I was trying to get him to blow her a kiss. It was quite cute. Eddie seemed kind of bored by it all, so apparently still holds a flame for Lizzie--or some other girl?

Can't believe there is no picture from today, but this was from dinner out with Eddie's buddy Eli and his parents the night before we left for Maine.
