I get so wrapped up in the "she'll disturb other people" fear that I don't even give her the chance to experience eating in public very often.Tales of Cheerios and Sleepless Nightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023966653651879558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115679628400900738.post-73221607902065038032009-10-22T14:52:11.374-07:002009-10-22T14:52:11.374-07:00Weaselmomma that is the coolest, most wonderful st...Weaselmomma that is the coolest, most wonderful story.

It's really reward enough when your kids simply behave in public, but when outsiders give a compliment in some way (let alone sending a package!), it is an amazing payoff.

Of course, it was only because they were aware of the consequences of such behavior. Besides, they really liked to eat and they knew (like yours) that wouldn't happen if they acted like jerks.Mike Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106980206823701807noreply@blogger.com
