On about day two of having our son, we went to dinner at the lobby bar. We all sat down, our son with his snack container of goldfish crackers. Then it started. Out of his shell he came. He was eating the crackers acting goofy. He was feeding them to us, eating them while saying "yum" and even throwing them. He was laughing the whole time having a blast. My wife and I looked at each other and just started smiling. Now this is how a two year old acts. He wasn't sitting there quietly waiting for dinner or entertainment. He was the entertainment.
I think some parents would be embarassed about their kid making a mess in a public place, but we didn't care. He was finally acting like a 2 year old. He was becoming comfortable around us. He still made time to eat a proper meal between all the goofiness. All is all we were happy and changed our perspective of him being serious all the time as having a goofball side to him.
This continued to spill into breakfast and other times during the day as we rolled into day 5 of living in a hotel.
