We had the loveliest time at a local pizza place on the Northside for dinner on Mother's Day that could have ended in disaster if it wasn't for our
kind-hearted waitress. We attempted to eat inside at first...take note
that this had been a busy day...no naps except the
knocked.out.in.the.car.for.the.20.or.40.min.trip-variety...and it was going on
8PM...so very dangerously near bed time. Seemed ok for the first 5-10
minutes...we had ammo...a banana, pen to color on the brown paper table
cover, etc...she was even strapped in the chair...THEN she wanted
down...so we tried sitting next to daddy in the booth...ha. No...she
wanted to roam...and we hadn't ordered our drinks yet. :( Thankfully, we
are good at eyeballing a place as soon as we enter...and we noticed
they had a screened-in outdoor patio, all enclosed and nearly devoid of
any diners...perfect. Baby could roam for a second while we waited for
our food to arrive and we could relax for a millisecond.
And
our waitress...so nice...helped us move everything over and truly saved
the mood of our experience there...from harried and on the edge to
relaxed and at ease...and she delighted in our little one. Exclaiming
that all that energy and adventure - was good. :) That as she grows into
an adult that kind of spunk will serve her well...always having a
desire to learn, to explore, to go. :) This made my heart happy...and
pretty sure made the food taste even better. :) A very happy mother's
day dinner indeed.
