Dinner two nights in a row AT the table???

Sunday night we had dinner- AT THE DINING ROOM TABLE- it was daddy (papa), Kelson, Jason, and I. That's the first time we have done that in months. Daddy came over to play with Kelson while Jason and I did our own things- me laundry and cleaning up- Jason video games ;) So Jason made Rosemary Chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and peas. Kelson got to sit at the table with us- in her high chair- and it was a nice time!

Lastnight I made dinner- I know- who would have thought- I gave Jason a break- i just made baked fish sandwhiches, mac n cheese, and corn. Kelson LOVED the mac n cheese (even though it wasn't homemade or Memere's) hehe. It was Velvetta- delish. It was nice to cook for a change. It was no EMERIL JASON dinner, but it was good. Anyways, we decided to eat at the table again -just us three. Jason and I both made a point to say that it was two nights in a row. It was nice to have some quality time with the family- with nothing on but music- we got to talk about our day and talk/play with Kelson. While we were eating she learned the "thank you" sign. Although I said Merci- she understands it- so I guess we can add another sign to our list :) She is so freaking smart and picks them up so fast. She also gives kisses when you ask for it in french/ or english. I can't wait to show the FL family!!!!

Do you make it a priority to eat dinner with your family at least a few times a night????? I think we will from now on. It was nice!!!

Kelson's signs: Fan, light, more, so smart, so big, merci/thank you, please, bathtime (working on that), bedtime/nap (working on that), and milk.
I'm doing what I can to learn more everyday!!! :)

some of our favorite (and funniest) memories are around the family dinner table. I think it is a very important time for bonding and love it when my family (or even just part of the family) is home to have dinner with us! I miss you all and can't wait until you get here to FL to see how much Kelson has grown/changed in this last month!! See YOU SOON!!
