Eating out

Marty, Brooklyn and I all went out to eat last night at Olive Garden. Marty and I were a little worried about going out with Brooklyn because it can turn into a very frustrating evening of cold food and whining (from all of us). However, we had a gift card to use and decided it would be something fun to do.
First off, we had to wait a hour to eat so we really expected the worst. We walked around Fashion Place Mall to kill the time and Brooklyn really enjoyed this. We stopped at Build-A-Bear to look around and Brooklyn was so excited! We didn't even buy anything, but she just enjoyed the store.
We finally sat down and Brooklyn sat right in the booster seat and just started to color. She sat there the whole time and ate her food really well (with a big fork even). She was an absolute angel! I couldn't even believe it. It was almost like a date with Marty except for a few requests here and there for more food from Brooklyn. We were so proud of her. Looks like she's turning into a big girl! Or it could have just been a fluke! Either way, we had a fun evening out!
