Scenes from a restaurant

We went out for dinner on Sunday evening - it was nice enough to sit outside and we hadn't been to a restaurant with Oliver for quite a while.

For some reason it took over half an hour for our appetizer to arrive (I would have thought that something like hummus and pita bread would be prepared at least partly in advance) and so Mimi and I took turns watching over Oliver as he wandered around on the sidewalk and in front of the store next to the restaurant. When the food finally showed up, Oliver promptly flung the basket of pita bread onto the floor. Fortunately, the replacement arrived in a few minutes. At first, Oliver protested at being in the high chair but soon discovered he liked Mimi's Burmese chicken and noodles. The man from the store had given Oliver a balloon earlier, but he didn't seem to mind much when it popped.
