Dinner with Nora

I have heard and read about horror stories of dining out with toddlers.  But I have to just brag on my little girl tonight.

We decided to go out to eat @ Ruby Tuesdays tonight, sort of to celebrate Jordan's new job.

Nora was a rockstar!

She colored until the food came.  We had 3 crayons and she insisted that we color with her.  She was so sweet and inclusive.  Of course she said Hi and waved to people.  So great.

Then when appetizers came she sat next to me eating with a fork and insisting she had to dip her chicken in the dip bowl, not the dip I had placed on her plate. :)  Then she started coloring again until dinner came.  Again she was just so prim and proper eating her food (well as prim and proper as a toddler can be.)  She was very excited about her daddy's fries and asked for dip (ketchup).  Then we played with her stuffed animal she had brought and she would get down and back up on the booth.

So thankful we got a corner booth so she had an area she could be rowdy in.  She even got down to dance at one point.  I highly recommend booths when you go out with kiddos, controlled freedom. :)

Then the best part; dessert!  I got a triple chocolate cake and Jordan got cheesecake.  She got all excited and climbed next to me and said "bite?"  I gave her a bite and she put her hands up to her face, "mmmm!" HAHA! we were dying laughing!  Then Jordan offered her some cheesecake and she says "No no no no no!"  even pushing Jordan's hand away and then leans toward me with her mouth wide open.  Again riotous laughing.  She takes after her momma!

I just love how she is just our little buddy and how friendly she is when people stop to say hi or watch her cuteness.  It is not always like this, but what a fun night!

O and the food was grrrrrreat!!!  My steak could be pulled apart with a fork. sooooooooooo good!  yea it was a great night.  Alright thats all, no revelations just wanted to remember this and brag on my baby girl.
