Redefining MommyhoodJourney of a mom whose son is overcoming hypotonia

Luke, Hubby and I went out for a family dinner last night at Ruby Tuesday’s. I was pleasantly surprised that they had semi-healthy food on the kid’s menu. I decided to order Luke the grilled chicken and broccoli. He had already decided what he wanted though.

Our server came and asked us what we would like to drink. Hubby got his usual Diet Coke and I got a sweet tea. Luke looked at the waiter and said “sweet tea”, which usually comes out like “swee sea”. I didn’t think the server would take him seriously, but sure enough, he brought Luke a small straw cup with sweet tea in it. Not the best thing for a toddler to drink with dinner!

The server then came back a few minutes later to take our dinner orders. I placed orders for Luke and myself, then Daddy did his. Luke looked up at the server and said “french fries”.

I guess it’s good to know that Luke can order his own food now, but he didn’t seem to make the healthiest choices:) Next time he’ll hopefully say “chicken and broccoli”.
