Last night Chris and I were discussing what to have for dinner. I had a rough day at work and wasn't up for any meals that involved much effort. Quickly the discussion turned to grabbing something out like Subway.
At this point Ian piped up, "I want cake-cake!" (cake-cake = pancakes)
Chris and I looked at each other stunned. He never even wants or eats dinner, and here he is demanding pancakes.
Ian, "Cake-cake! Cake-cake! Cake-cake!!!"
So I asked, "Ian do you want to go to Cranker's for pancakes?"
(Cranker's is our favorite restaurant that we go to pretty much every weekend for breakfast.)
The noise he made can only be described as an affirmative in the range of 11 on the excitement scale.
So off to Cranker's we went for some cake-cakes. How could we not when he actually wanted something for dinner so much.
When the waitress came to take our order I asked Ian what he wanted, he rambled something off to the waitress sounding very determined. I am not sure what all he said but it sure sounded like and order.
The biggest shock of the night came when our waitress brought the food to the table. She placed my plate first, then Ian's.
Ian looked up at her and gasped with a huge smile on his face and said... thank you!
My son said thank you without being prompted and at the exact right moment!
I am so proud.

ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME! It's moments like that where you say, "Wow, he may actually grow up into an adult with a reasonable diet and nice manners." Then you sigh and pat yourself on the back for doing such a great job. :)
