How to keep a toddler occupied at a restaurant, after she’s finished her meal and before dessert arrives: put a napkin on your head.
It’s a hat, a peek-a-boo device, a laugh producer.
You may look a little goofy, but it’s no stranger than singing Jingle Bells, Happy Birthday, the ABC’s and Itsy Bitsy Spider aloud in a crowded restaurant (this technique also works).
Most importantly, putting a napkin on your head makes little girls smile.

That is indeed one of the all-time priceless, unforgettable smiles! Love the pictures of you all wearing napkins. You can’t hang on to TOO much dignity if you want to survive as a parent!

@Mama… thanks, but that’s not us! ::laughs:: You should know by now that I don’t willingly fork over the camera. It’s our friends R. and J. playing with the kids.
