My plan was to wear them out so they'd go to bed for me. We walked about six blocks to a Chinese buffet. Well, I walked, Jordan sat in the stroller and Anna rode her scooter.
Anna is six and there is a sign that says if you're under eight you have to have an adult with you at the buffet. Well, that was too difficult because Jordan isn't much help at holding a plate in a buffet line so we took turns sitting at the table with Jordan while we dished up our plates. I told Anna to go ahead and help herself and just be really careful.
Anna: (wide eyed) You mean pretend I'm an eight year old?!
Me: No, just be really careful that you don't spill (since she already dropped the serving spoon handle in the sweet & sour sauce).
Anna: Because eight year olds are really careful?
Anna had to dress up to go to the buffet. She changed into a skirt and ruffley tank top, put on light, light pink eyeshadow and glitter lipgloss (she's allowed to wear it but not to school), a bangle bracelet, a necklace, earrings... she wanted to look "really fancy". She wore her Crocs so she could ride her scooter to the restaurant but brought a pair of wedge sandles to change into. Seriously, this is what going out to eat should be all about!
We stopped at a park on the way back and then they were both ready for bed when we got home.
