A Day In the Life of Little David (Dinner Time at 15 months) (part 5)

Dinner Time

We often go out for dinner because it is easier. Peninsula Creamery is a real favorite (less than a half mile away from day care and pretty standard 50’s style food). However, we eat at home a fair amount of the time (which we should), because he has very little time before he runs out of energy (particularly with no nap during the day). On those (no nap days), we run home and get the food in front of him as fast as we can.

Sarah is usually busy with volleyball, choir, and homework (all around dinner time).

In addition, Sarah is driving these days (she is 16 years old) – so she is a pretty independent adolescent. However, we recently had a family meeting to make sure we reinstated family time each day to make sure we stay in touch we each other – you know, just how was your day, what’s homework look like, lets review that paper, and of course her personal life. Her world is a bit different from David’s life. It is important to pay attention to her special life as well. By the way she is already shopping for prom gowns. Take a look – she bought it with her own money. She is really turning out to be quite a young lady.

There are nights when she is around at dinner time and able to pitch in. She puts away the dishes and feeds her little brother while we are making dinner. David loves it – being fed by his big sister. Pretty darn cool.
