We go out to eat a lot. I know, bad parents. Somehow we still haven't managed to figure out the whole food-prep thing with a toddler underfoot. I should try the once-a-week or once-a-month cooking thing.
Anyway, the net result is that KB has been dining in restaurants since he was a little bitty guy. Ah, those blissful days when we'd turn a wooden high chair upside down, rest the Graco car seat on top, and enjoy a leisurely meal with him blissfully snoozing away.
He's pretty well-behaved wherever we take him. Of course, we mostly choose "family friendly" places where the hostess gives him a kids' menu and crayons. But now and then, we decide we're hungry for sushi, or dim sum, or Thai food, and we schlep KB along.
He loves miso soup. LOVES. He devours the tofu and drinks the broth as we hold the big, flat spoon for him, despite his protests of "No Daddy! I do it by self!!"
In the past couple of weeks, he's tasted unagi for the first time, and he loved it. He ate 2 pieces by himself (didn't care much for the rice or seaweed, but he scarfed down the fish).
Then Saturday, we took him to Bonfante Gardens and then out to a dim sum place afterwards. He tried steamed pork bun, Shu Mai, Ha Gao, and garlic noodles.
Last night, we went out for Thai food. He ate chicken satay with peanut sauce (his first peanuts -- no sign of an allergic reaction yet) and then ate Pad See Ew.
My little gourmand. I'm so glad he is an adventurous eater!!!

We don't even attempt taking Lucas out to eat anymore. He does not sit still. I'm talking about running through the restaurants. It's easier to attempt to cook than it is to take him out.
I think KB would run through restaurants too if we didn't strap him into a high chair. If we have to use restaurant booster seats that don't have straps, all he wants to do is get down and run around.
Straps don't stop my child.
