Tonight was a pivotal moment in my parenting-life. My husband and I brought our littles out to dinner...ages 9 & 6...and if you can believe it: no one had to be dragged out of the restaurant kicking & screaming; no one had to be "warned" 856 times that if they didn't stop "that" there would be no dessert; no one needed to be threatened that "when we get home your night is OVER young lady (or man depending).
In fact...we laughed, we giggled, we smiled and best of all EVERYONE GOT DESSERT !!!
SUCCESS!!! YES!!!

Hehe... it's a marvelous thing when it happens, isn't it? We had it happen for us for the VERY FIRST TIME two weeks ago at South of the Border. There were literally NO fights, NO threats, NO running around the restaurant, etc, etc.... and we of course left feeling like all was right with the world... until we got home and the kids pitched a fit and refused to go to bed.
