Layton Learned Table Manners From The Tramp...

Layton loves spaghetti. He wants it for every meal. This is what he looks like before the spaghetti starts to enter his mouth.


This is what happens when he eats spaghetti at home. The shirt had to come off because he had dripped so much sauce on it that it was starting to stick to his chest.


Same thing happens in public. Except he keeps his shirt on. I tried cutting the noodles into smaller pieces and letting him use a spoon. He cries when I do that. I figure that most people would rather see him slurp the noodles than hear him cry. :)



What are your feelings on children in restaurants? Seen but not heard?

I love kids in restaurants because it helps them learn to participate in society! The only time I've been offended by children in a restaurant was when a mom started slathering her brood with aloe vera gel at the table in a 4-star fine-dining restaurant. And even then, I was offended at the mom and not the kids!

I don't mind a bit when kiddos get a little messy and even a little exuberant during mealtime at a restaurant. Frankly, I've been around adults who behaved worse than most children.
