Chips and Salsa

So we’ve held off taking Troy out to a restaurant for ten months now. We had no idea how he’d be, and we didn’t want to hassle with it. If we wanted something out, then we’d get it to go instead. But tonight, we wanted to get out of the house and enjoy a meal out before calling our long holiday officially over. So we packed the baby into the car and headed out to Matitto’s Tex-Mex restaurant. Because his first experience should be with chips and salsa.

Turns out that just like the plane ride, our concerns were unwarranted. Troy did amazing as always. It wasn’t very crowded, so he didn’t have a lot going on to distract him. He sat quietly taking in the decor and playing with the sugar packets I gave him. My wife let him try a little bit of retried beans and part of her cheese enchilada, which he seemed to enjoy. At one point, one of the waiters who was completely taken with Troy and kept coming by the table to see him, came over and asked to hold him. Troy was totally cool with it and even gave the guy a high-five. It was nice to know that we can enjoy the occasional meal out without having to worry about how Troy will be at the restaurant.
