Dinner out

I decided to brave a dinner out with Preston. He's very diffcult to control at restaurant's. I always bring a stack of new toys or notebooks/pens/pencils/playdough but suffice it to say all of the funnest things in the world will not keep that boy seated. Normally, McD's is about as daring as I get alone. Mike and I will take him out to Moe's or Ruby Tuesday's but overall it is NOT an enjoyable outing for any of us. It's generally very stressful.

BUT, Saturday night, I decided to take him to the new Fritz' Diner in Shawnee. If you're not familiar, Fritz' delivers your food by miniature Train. Preston is in awe of trains and cars. So, every time he saw the train and heard the whistle, he would squeal with delight, yell "MOM. MOM", point and watch it make the delivery around the restaurant. He actually stayed at our booth, however, he never really stayed seated....but that was ok. It wasn't a horrible experience and seeing him light up, just brought tears to my eyes. He ate amazingly well, too.

Still working on age and "big" and "little" items. Neither of which are making any progress so to speak.
