James is becoming a food connoisseur, too (or he's just really picky)

Yesterday was Daddy's birthday, so we all went to Provino's, a fancy Italian restaurant where birthday boys and girls get a free dinner. We were kind of worried about how James would behave in the restaurant, but he was quite well-behaved. And he ate a huge pile of fettucini alfredo, too. He wanted to play with the glass of water for a while, but once he tried the pasta he just kept eating. We let him use a grown-up fork (mainly because we didn't bring one of his small forks), which made it even more fun for him. He had the rest of the fettucini for lunch today, and was just as enthusiastic about it. That is very encouraging, considering the trouble we have had lately getting him to eat. We just hope that he'll like eating something other than expensive Italian restaurant food.

Today was the last Little Gym class until the fall for James. They had a nice little "awards ceremony" where all the kids got a medal, and then we just played around the rest of the time. Here we can see him on the big donut (although it's backlit pretty bad at the beginning; sorry about that). James has a lot of fun at the Little Gym, and he has learned some impressive stuff there, so we'll have to come up with lots of fun activities over the summer to fill the void.
