Tonight before Nonna left back for San Antonio, she wanted to take us out to celebrate Mommy's birthday. We chose to eat at a steakhouse called the Taste of Texas, a restaurant that we have been meaning to try for a while now and since it was on Nonna's way out, it sounded like a good idea.
We began by ordering Andrew the junior prime rib, which would have been enough meat for Mommy. But the little guy totally dug it. Andrew typically does not like or eat dry meat, which can be a problem sometimes, but no problem with dryness here. It was very tender and melted in your mouth. He ended up eating over a half of the slice. James guesses it was like eight ounces of meat--I don't know because I am not a good gauge at measurements. He also ate some fruit and bread to top off his meal. Mommy better take her little carnivore for some more prime rib soon!
Of course, Andrew was done eating before we were. The waitress came by one time and asked if something was wrong with my peach tea, which I had not drunk much of. I told her there wasn't--I just hadn't had time to drink it. Then, she proceeds to ask if she can take Andrew to the big stuffed bear in front of the restaurant. I was a little taken aback. First, we really didn't know her but all of thirty minutes. Second, I didn't think that Andrew would go with her. But I thought I would let her give it a good ole college try. We were all curious how it would turn out. She took him and away they went. We weren't sure how Andrew would react once we were out of his eyesight. So, we gave Andrew a little head start to see how he would do; and Daddy followed just in case. Well, surprise surprise! Andrew went all the way to the front of the restaurant with the waitress and didn't cry! But soon enough, Andrew was back, but he was hooked. He kept wanting to go see the bear, so we all took turns walking him around so we could all eat. The food and the bear must have made him happy because he was a little ham tonight--waving, blowing kisses, and giving knuckles to people.
After the meal, we got a birthday dessert topped with a sparkler. Andrew didn't cry or try to get out of my arms, but he definitely wasn't into it. However, he sure enjoyed the Snickers Pie!
The meal was delicious; and it was a night to remember. Andrew sure does always makes life more interesting--even going out to a restaurant!! Thanks again, Nonna!
