First Restaurant Outing = Success!

This evening, Katie, Kris, and I took Penelope on her first outing to a restaurant, and it was a complete success! We were not sure what the outcome would be at first, and were fully prepared to rotate baby-walking duty while the other two ate. Penelope impressed us all by staying asleep the entire dinner, and it was really nice to get all of us out of the house together. To keep the odds of success in our favor, we decided to go to Tutta Bella in Wallingford, perhaps the most kid and baby friendly restaurant ever. (As an example of kid-friendliness, they have three levels of child seating arrangements: car seat holders for babies, high chairs for toddlers, and booster seats for small children.) Tutta Bella's was fast and loud, both of which were critical to our accomplishment, and the food is really good, too. Now we are back home, and all are satisfied. Penelope is still asleep, although it is almost time for her evening meal. Tomorrow, she turns 3 weeks old. Maybe we'll have to go out to dinner to celebrate. :)
