Car Date

Adaptability and patience. In my opinion, the two skills most important in parenting (and not losing your mind in the process!) The other day we decided to go out to a little family dinner. On the way Seeley fell asleep and we had a decision to make. Wake her up and go into a restaurant, risking a squirmy, tired baby freaking out right as the food arrives, or don't wake her up and...and? She hadn't napped all day so we decided to make it a "car date". We went to one of our favorite drive-thru places, Burgerville, and went for a fun little drive around Portland. Baby got to sleep, mom and dad got to eat. Success!
