On the subject of me being stressed out by eating out with 5 children - one a messy toddler, Christie gave me this FAB advice:
"I vividly remember going when
A. was a toddler and it did take ALOT of patience! You really have to
learn to ignore the mess and keep thinking her/his job is to clean up after
us! Also remember once you leave the table to NEVER LOOK DOWN!!! Just like
when you're scared of heights....NEVER LOOK DOWN!!!"
You just always get the best advice from Moms - especially Moms with larger families :)
