Tonight was girls night for me and guys night for Greg so Charlotte joined me at Maria's Mexican Restaurant with Kelly, Jenny, Christina, and Lisa. The night started with many frustrations such as leaving my cell phone at my grandparents and then having no high chair at the restaurant for the first 35-45 minutes we were there (plus not very good service overall)! Charlotte provided much entertainment throughout! (Just to clarify it was fun, good entertainment, just in case there are those of you saying "Oh-no Charlotte was causing trouble!")
Anyway, the best moment of the evening came at dessert. Lisa ordered flan that she was willing to share with everyone. I got a bite for Charlotte, and then a bite for me. I really didn't think Charlotte was going to like it. Then she said "more, please," over and over again. I said no, that it was Lisa's dessert and gave her the spoon thinking that would suffice. Charlotte licked the spoon completely clean and then promptly handed it to Lisa saying "More please!" It was the funniest thing and got a lot of laughs. However, on my way home, as I pondered her actions, it was eye opening. Charlotte is starting to realize that when mom says "no" she can ask someone else who is going to say "yes." (Mom, now I get it.)
