Tidbit

Last night, we took the boys to dinner at a restaurant that we've been wanting to check out for some time. Apparently, they're about to have their 2 year anniversary - time sure flies. It's called Tidbit. It is well liked on http://www.urbanspoon.com/ so we thought we'd give it a try. YUM!

Sunday nights, they have a special, 3 courses for $30. The first course is any of their tapas, soups or salads. The second course is any of their entree selections (primi or secondi), and the third course is any of their desserts. That's a lot of choices. And, you can even choose the special of the evening, except for whatever is at "market value." Most places that offer this kind of deal has specific items for you to choose from, so this felt like a great value.

What did we have? Me - mussels & clams, pappardelle pasta with porcinis, and chocolate tartufo. David - lamb albondigas (meatballs), grilled lamb, and tiramisu. My only complaint is that my pasta didn't taste of truffles (as stated) at all, and I didn't care for the porcinis in there. I think they were dried, and didn't taste very good/fresh. But the sauce in the pasta was great.

Vincent got his very first taste of alcohol. Yes, I'm a bad mom. I gave him the tiniest taste of my Lillet. Soon as he tasted it, he didn't say a word, but reached right for his milk. When I asked if he liked it, he simply shook his head as he continued to drink the milk.
Vincent shared everything with us rather than getting something from the kids' menu. After we finished our desserts, he proceeded to lick the plate that the tartufo was on until it was completely clean.
As for Tyler, he ate pureed English peas that I bought from the farmers' market earlier in the day. He quite enjoyed it.

Recently, Vincent's obsessed with "sleeping." It's a game he likes to play. He likes to get back into his bed and pretend to sleep while you read to him. Apparently, one of my friend's kids likes to do something similar, too. Is it a 2.5 year old thing?
POOP HAPPENS
Tyler is an infrequent pooper. He only poops every 2-3 days, sometimes up to 5-7 days. The complete opposite of Vincent, who pooped everytime he nursed the first few months. Since he has started to eat food, he's pooping a little more frequently, but more like every other day. Sometimes they're a bit thick (sorry), and I have wondered if he's constipated. I don't think he is, but today, he really strained to push a poop out, and after he did, he cried. Poor baby. It was pretty solid (sorry, again). When I went to change him, poop continued to come out, but no longer painful or solid (sorry, sorry, again).
