Way #467325 my life has changed since having kids

Before children, Jonathan and I would go out to dinner to celebrate an event, or a date on the calendar: when one of us won an award, or finished a class, or we had an anniversary.

After children, we still go out as a family to celebrate, but the reasons are somewhat different.

Last night, we were in a celebratory mood because... (drumroll please) Ari pooped in the potty!  Hooray!!

(See, told you times had changed.)

Given any choice for dinner, Ari decided he wanted pizza, so off to Round Table Pizza we went.  For those who don't know, not only does this restaurant have pizza and a salad bar, but also an arcade game room in the back, as well as board games to be played while one waits for the pizza to be ready.

The game of choice this evening was an updated version of the old-time match game Memory, with superhero cards.  

Ari nibbling on the hors d'vours (love that salad bar), while Xander and Jonathan take turns.


Later that night, Ari proved his potty prowess even further... he was up every three hours going pee, but he didn't wear a diaper at all!  Today at nap he got up and peed as well... HOORAY for big kids!
