A Mind All Of His Own...

As I had stated in the previous post, we went out for dinner and Brody was an angel. I was super excited about the ability to take him out and be a good little baby. So on Thursday, Kara came to town so she and I along with Jenny and her little guy Chase, JRo and Allie all met at California Pizza Kitchen (kid friendly is important) for dinner. Once Brody woke from the car ride I changed his diaper and then fed him...thinking that he'd then be quiet alert or fall back to sleep after he ate...OHHHHH no...not our little guy, he's got a plan all of his own. He proceeded to fuss and then cry the whole time...i walked the mall with him in hopes to comfort him and no such luck. Thank goodness all the girls (except Allie) have kids and totally understood...so Kara and JRo took him so i could eat (thanks ladies). Needless to say it was not a pleasant experience and I sensed many resturant patrons starring at me thinking, "control your child"...you know like I used to do to people before i had a baby!! I now have a new found appreciation for moms trying to comfort crying babies in public...

I believe there is a lesson in everything i experience with Brody. So what was learned...taking Brody to a resturant between the hours of 7-9 is NOT recommended for right now!
