We went out to eat over the weekend and it was later than we usually eat dinner when we arrived at the restauarant. I had high hopes that no one would have a meltdown. Our children were on their A game because they were so calm and civil it warmed my heart. We had several tables around us smiling and making remarks about the kids.
When we were leaving two women came up to us and told us that our children were delightful, and their behavior was outstanding. They remarked that we must be doing a good job keeping them happy at home and treating them well for them to be so calm and sweet. It made my mommy heart so proud :heart
They both went on to comment that they knew kids could have tantrums and they knew no child was perfect, but our children (baby included) gave them hope that parents were still raising their children to be respectful and with manners. It was so nice to be recognized in a positive way. I know we are doing the right thing, but sometimes it is nice to have someone point it out (and not harp on why you are doing it all wrong, etc.)
Just wanted to share. :D
