we made some yummy pizza for dinner. nj was so interested, he pulled up a stool just to watch. i told him that he could watch, but no touching. as we prepared the table for dinner, nj made himself at home on a chair. when i told him to sit in his booster he said he didn't want to. so i told him if he wanted to sit there, he had to sit still, sit nicely, and not get out of his seat until he was done with dinner. i also said it was a test and that if he didn't pass, he wouldn't get to sit there anymore. he did pretty good, like he does at restaurants. i don't know why we haven't let him before, i guess it's just habit and convenience that he doesn't mind the booster. sitting on his own at our dinner table for a meal is a first. we only had to warn him twice about reaching for stuff he wasn't supposed to touch. when he finished dinner, he got up to say goodnight. but baba asked him if he asked to be excused. baba said, "say mama, can i be excused?" and he said it, but it sounded so funny and cute that i laughed in his face. so terrible, but it was also just so adorable to hear him say it for the first time.
