Dining Out

We don't go out for dinner much these days at Carter is impossible to keep still for long. But when our High School friend, Chad, came in town we figured we'd give it a try. We decided to go to Nakato's so we could see another Lovett pal and we were hoping the Hibachi entertainment would keep Carter occupied. And it worked!

Carter started the evening by rearranging all the newpapers in the lobby while we waited to get seated (Luckily Sachi has a 3 year old so she takes all the kid stuff in stride!). When we sat down, he grabbed his chopsticks and had all sorts of fun. They made great drum sticks, were fun to poke mom and dad with, worked like a teether...
And could be dropped on the floor for mom and dad to pick up. After not to long, our cook came and Carter was really into the show. Our chef totally catered to Carter and he loved it. There was fire, and flying food and lots of silly faces.
The only part Carter didn't love was when the cook tried to give him a high-five. When our cook was done, Carter watched all the other tables around us. Hibachi was a hit!
Carter liked the food to and actually sat still long enough for us to have a normal dinner and a real conversation with Chad and Sachi. After dinner, Carter chilled with his chop stick while we finished our drinks.
We will definitely have to go back to Nakato's again for our next family dinner out!
