(Temporary) Serenity

I need to report, in the spirit of honesty, that the last few visits to restaurants have been down right enjoyable.  Our little spitfire has been sugar and sweetness lately.  Now, we traded in wine bars for a hick *restaurant* (I use the term loosely here) and for a local Vietnamese restaurant.  Needless to say, she stayed in her seat and was just a little charmer.

These must be the moments my mother fondly remembers when she has that weird amnesia about all the crazy stuff we did as kids.  She has this selective memory that has allowed her to separate out these lovely parenting moments from those more challenging ones.  I think I understand....I feel that way today!  My brain is optimistic once again - I think those days of crazy restaurant behavior are well behind us (after just two positive experiences) and I am smug once again.

I think we'll take our daughter to an art opening Friday night.
