This past week, Stephen's grandfather reached the honorable age of 75 years old. Today, Stephen reached the milestone age of 30. After some juggling of schedules, we were able to go out on Saturday evening with Stephen's mom's side of the family to celebrate both occasions. I was admittedly nervous at the thought of taking my rambunctious toddler to a fancy restaurant. His new favorite thing to do at mealtime is throw food on the floor. I was imagining becoming known as "one of those parents" who lets their child wreck anything in his path. Or with beads of sweat running down my face as I pick up after him while everyone stares at me.
In the end, Benjamin did very well and flirted with all of the waitresses. We had a good time playing peek-a-boo with the tablecloth and he thoroughly enjoyed reading the dessert menu and playing with the spoons. Maybe I would be better off not worrying quite so much?
Since Benjamin's great-grandfather is the source of his middle name, I thought it appropriate to snap a photo of the two men, approximately 73 years and 8 months apart in age. Plus Benjamin was just too adorable in his little sailor suit.
