My Little Lettuce Wrap

I love Liam more then life itself, but he doesn't always make it easy.  There are many times where he doesn't sleep when he's supposed to, gets into things I don't want him to, cries uncontrollably, or squirms while I'm trying to get him dressed.  All these things try my patience, but I just keep reminding myself he's just a baby.  I've got many more years of defiance ;)

Then there are those times where he is an angel, and unbelievably cute.  It's those times that I think, "It's all worth it."

Last night the family had dinner at PF Changs.  We weren't sure how Liam would do since he only took a 20 minute afternoon nap when he usually sleeps an hour or more, but decided to venture out anyway.  Thankfully, the lack of sleep didn't seem to phase Liam and he was on his best behavior.  He quietly sat through dinner while playing with his toy, "Mr. Lion."  We even gave him a couple other items for his, but mostly our entertainment :)

My advice to parents of new and old.  Take chances.  Yes, there may be a meltdown, but you may also have a fun and pleasant experience.  Like I told Brent, "If he doesn't cooperate, we can always have the meal boxed up, and eat it at home."
