Tonight, we had a family dinner at a little hole in the wall Italian place nearby. It's inexpensive, tasty, and has great service. Maggie has become an incredibly picky eater, but she will eat meatballs. So, we ordered her a side of meatballs with the meal. She quickly dived into her meatballs. She then said to Matt and I that she wanted some more bread. We told her we would request more from our waitress when she returned to the table. She said "okay" and seemed content. A few seconds later she - very loudly - says "Ms. Waitress, more bread please!" in the direction of our waitress. Thank goodness our waitress didn't hear her and that no one else was in the dining room at that time. We were shocked. We reprimanded her and told her to wait patiently. And she did - for about 2 minutes. Then, she got up from the table and went in search of our waitress. We had to grab her and put her in her seat. A few minutes later, our waitress returned to our table and says "do ya'll need anything?" Maggie replies "I'd like some more bread please." She has the please part down - just has no table manner awareness yet. She got her bread, ate a huge piece, and settled down with the iPhone. Any tips on table manner awareness for toddlers would be greatly appreciated.
Here are some pics of her first horse ride in December.
