I've loved reading your chicken & egg story. Also, the Saturday lunch practice is a great idea. We used to eat out a lot more with the kids, in part for the very same reason you cite above. That's a great family tradition. Thanks, Charlotte! I’ve loved reading your chicken & egg story. Also, the Saturday lunch practice is a great idea.

My parents were much the same -- if you wanted to eat at the big table (instead of early, in the kitchen) you had to use nice manners. And when I worked as a nanny for LIza, my beloved kiddo who had Down Syndrome, we went to lunch in a restaurant on Saturdays to practice manners ... it's one of those achievements that just makes kids feel so good about themselves. (And with chickens in the backyard, we've had a few omelette dinners here recently too ...) cheers! Hey Lisa — love the emphasis on table manners.
