Ravioli AND Salad!

.
It's the little things the progress over time that you miss if you don't pay attention. We went to Olive Garden today and River enjoyed some cheese ravioli. Although she wore a bib, she really didn't need it; she didn't spill a drop of sauce. I was amazed. Then (with the help of Jo) I noticed other milestones: she didn't require a high chair, she didn't need a sippy cup, she used full-sized utensils, she said "Please" and "Thank You" and (the most amazing part) she ate a salad!!

A SALAD!! With Lettuce and tomato and other salady stuff!

I know this isn't huge stuff. I'm not going to notify MENSA (yet) but when you consider her first experience with ravioli not too long ago, I cannot help but be a little proud.
