Dining with a toddler

Last night, Quinn and I went out for dinner with Simon's Dad and Step-Mom and let me tell you, it's not the same as before. What am I referring to?
 
Well let's just say it wasn't a relaxing dinner by any means because a certain little person was bouncing off the walls!

Exhibit A:
Miss Quinn NOT in her highchair like a good baby but rather jumping on the bench throwing Cheerios.

Exhibit B:
Miss Quinn making eyes at the baby boy sitting at the table beside us
 
Exhibit C:
Hmm interesting.
Too full for dinner but room for ice cream? 
 
I had packed toys, books and snacks to entertain my little monster, but those were quickly thrown to the ground. She much preferred chewing on butter packets, grabbing any utsensil within reach and waving at people around us.
 
Instead of getting angry or frustrated at my child's bad behaviour I decided to just let it happen. She's only a year old, has no sense of table manners, was cranky because she's teething and was hyper because she was in a new place.
I'm hoping that since she's still little, people thought it was cute and not annoying?
 
I'm hoping the same is true of my predicted bad behaviour tonight...
 
 
My girlfriends and I are heading downtown for the Wine and Food Show. I've never been so I am very excited :) Quinn will be having a sleepover at my parent's place which means tomorrow Simon and I get to do a very exciting thing...SLEEP IN!
Woot woot!
 
Happy weekend! 
xo, Vicky
