Just Desserts
Saturday the entire family went to a meeting for prospective parents at our adoption agency. No, we’re not doing it again-we were there to share our stories and answer any questions the new parents might have. Claire, as has been her temperament frequently lately, was extremely fidgety. She raided the snack table that had been set up and wouldn’t sit still.
After the short meeting, Chris wanted to go out to eat. Claire continued to be an uncontrollably free spirit at the Mexican restaurant so after ordering my meal I grabbed Claire, handed my cell phone to Chris and told her to call her own cell phone back in the minivan where I would be killing time with Claire.
I returned with Claire in tow and watched Chris eat while holding Claire. When mommy finished a few minutes later, the girls headed back to the van. We didn’t have wait on the girls finishing. We hadn’t ordered for Katie as she had reported she wasn’t hungry and Marissa didn’t eat her quesadilla because the cheese was on the inside instead of being on top where she preferred.
I finished my meal alone before joining the family waiting in the parking lot. Doggie bag in hand.
The next day at lunch Marissa had reconciled with the left over internally-cheesed quesadillas.
