hilo bay cafe

yesterday coen and i had a lunch date (just the 2 of us) at hilo bay cafe. i was feeling brave to take him into a nice restaurant at nap time, alone. he did great! we did lots of "cheers!" and he loved his parmasean pasta. i have never eaten something there that wasn't perfect. yum!




speaking of nap time, we are crossing into a new phase. it seems that no nap is a little rough, but when he dose nap he is up way too late. so we are trying to phase the long naps out for the next few days and see how he does. this means, i am allowing him to cat nap in the car, something i have never EVER done. unless we are traveling, this boy has taken every single nap of his life at home in his crib. i have been fighting the nap issue for a while, because i just felt like kids should nap till they are 3. any of you have advice/experience with dropping the nap well before that? i would love your insight.
