A dinner outing

So last evening we decided to head out for dinner. I went in to enquire if a table was available and once confirmed, told the wife, who went in, while I parked the car. The boy flashed his widest smile at the lady in the reception and when her friend fussed over him, he flashed even a wider smile!

At home, he does not enjoy sitting for a long time but here, he sat quietly in a high chair (his first one by the way). No fuss! We enjoyed our dinner, the boy was thrilled with the people, lights and slept on the way home. Got home, took him out of his car seat, moved him to the bed and waaaaaaaah!

Needless to say, we had a tough time after that - as in the past few days, after each of his feed session during the night, he threw up a big fuss before falling asleep.

On Saturday, I had the good fortune of attending a gardening workshop on a novel way of gardening - Square Foot Gardening - organized by the Square Foot Farmers at The Daily Dump. I was surprised when Vishwas, one of the organizers and a terrific guy, narrated his talk with a boy studying in 8th Std. Vishwas asked him where the vegetables at his came from and pat came the reply, "Supermarket"! Neither from a farmer not from earth. It is amazing how ignorant some of the children of today are. It is time workshops like these are introduced in schools. Unlike adults, these children do not come with a corporate baggage in their heads.
