'Big Boy' Lunch

Today Graham enjoyed his lunch 'big boy' style at General Mills. We haven't been there in a while, but Graham still remembers the routine and the route we take to the cafeteria. Once we met up with Jeff, Graham happily jumped out of his stroller, grabbed his Daddy's hand, and off they went. Graham literally took off running down the hall toward the elevator where he knows he'll be allowed to push the button. He also took great pride in pushing the large square button that opens the giant double doors into the cafeteria. Things got a bit crowded at this point, so an unhappy Graham was strapped back into his chariot. As Jeff and I surveyed our lunch options, Graham was sure to let everyone within earshot know that he wanted a hot dog....too bad that wasn't an option for him today. Thankfully, Graham appeared satisfied with his meatloaf and mashed potatoes. The real treat was dessert though. Yes, Graham enjoyed his mini donut, but he was most excited by the fact that he was allowed to sit on the 'big boy' leather furniture while he enjoyed his snack. I had to laugh on the way home though, because Graham continued to demand another donut. I didn't even know he could say that word, but apparently his dessert made quite the impression on him!
