Steppin' Out

Tanner and I went out tonight and what fun we had. Our friend and former neighbor Jord is moving this weekend to Iowa so the old gang got together for dinner at Nakato's--well minus Jeremy who had to work. For those of you who don't know, Nakato's is a Japanese steakhouse here in Springfield. The food is super pricey, but very delicious (Tanner's child's plate was $8!!!). At Nakato's they have large tables that seat about eighteen people and the chef's cook the food right in front of you. Tanner was awed by it all. He clapped at the flaming "onion volcano". And laughed when Louis (our chef) threw an egg in the air and caught it with his hat. He was so well behaved and I was very proud of my perfect little gentleman! The other guests at the table complimented him on his good manners :0) Of course with a three year old, you can't go out without having at least one mishap. Ours occurred right as we were leaving when Tanner spilled half a glass of water on his pants. Oh well! Other than that, the night was perfect. My only regret is that I didn't take the camera so I could share pictures with you all.
