What a nice morning. I know my boys take charge of their own menus at
restaurants. The server always looks at me and I say whatever they want.
They order, and ask for refills. I love to see that. When I was young I had
to ask my parents permission for everything.

We were at a sledding party this winter and after they had finished sledding,
the hostess offered the children some hot chocolate. Dallen asked for
another cup and she said maybe he should ask his Mom first, he said
no..she'll say OK. And I would have. I overheard all this from the living
room.
