Recently we went out to dinner at a local pizza place that we love - the Mellow Mushroom. We've discovered that this is an amazing restaurant for children. Well, for us too. But for kids there are so many things to look at (colorful walls, things hanging from the ceiling, pizza makers in full view, televisions, etc) plus it is a bit on the loud side, so any screeches a baby or toddler can make only really affect the people in the table immediately adjacent to you. So in all, it's a pretty kid friendly place. And it serves beer, so us parents enjoy the experience as well.
So on this occasion we had just been seated at our table when my toddler stated loudly that she had to use the bathroom. Off we went. After a successful trip to the potty, we returned to the table. Of course, it seemed that every few minutes throughout the entire meal, she wanted to make another trip to the bathroom. I think we must have taken her at least 5 times in the 60 minutes we were there. Oh how I love toddler bladders and their seemingly endless capacity (or lack thereof depending on how you look at it).
And not to be left out, the baby also decided that it was a good time to fill her diaper. Only once mind you, but it added an extra trip into all the fun we were already doing, wearing a path from our table to the restrooms. I guess there's just no sitting down for a parent, even when you are at a restaurant. Oh well, at least there weren't any accidents and everyone had a fun time. Just next time I'll try to limit how much my toddler drinks before we leave the house.
