millenium

Dylan,

Last night we went out for dinner to celebrate Uncle Marc's birthday at Millenium, a fancy upscale vegetarian restaurant in San Francisco . They had a high chair waiting for you.

Mom and I were able to keep you pretty much engaged, mostly by feeding you constantly. You ate your baby food, some cheerios, some red beans from my dinner plate, and some lentils from Mom's. And before any of this you ate practically the whole bowl of green lentil spread that came with the bread (don't worry, we got a second bowl). Mom and I each took you outside for a brief break-- me before the main course arrived and Mom before dessert-- just to head off any potential meltdowns. You absolutely loved the nightlife in The City. We stood just outside the front door and you soaked in the lights, the people, and the action. Passers by stopped to tell me you were beautiful, or to tell me about their own kids and the wonderment of procreation. You flapped your arms and legs in excitement as you found one thing after another to focus your attention on.

Inside, another guest from a nearby table stopped to tell us how incredibly well-behaved you were. She said her 5 yr-old doesn't behave as well in restaurants and never had. That was nice to hear.
