Last night when I picked you up from school, I asked you if you wanted pizza. I had some leftover pizza at home and that was the grand plan for dinner. But you said you wanted pizza "at the restaurant". There's an Italian restaurant across from your school, and we've gone there a few times for dinner, or to pick up takeout for home.
So we had pizza in the restaurant. It was really nice, you have learned to eat it like a pro, I don't have to cut it up or anything. So we just sat there, eating our pizza, talking about the day. Well, when you weren't trying to look around me to watch the TV they have in there! And you named whether all the people in the restaurant were a man or a woman. You're very good at that! It was an enjoyable night, except for my guilt of feeding you pizza for dinner. At least at home I would have made some veggies, too. Healthy food is not my strong point, I acknowledge that! But I do try. And with Carolyn cooking one or two nights a week for us, you are getting some good home cooked meals!
One thing that made me sad, though... just as it's getting really easy to take you to a restaurant after school (and there are a few others in the same strip mall, too), I'll be picking up you and your little brother, and handling the both of you by myself might be a little too much. So after another month or so, we might not be doing the restaurant after school for a while...
