So my daughter is 4, boy is 1. Not going out for a family dinner has kinda sucked as it was always fun to just get out of the house and not deal with dinner and dishes. Since that can’t happen right now, I asked my daughter if she would like to be a hostess and waitress for a pretend restaurant night here at home. She was all for it.
We painted up an “Olive Garden” sign (one of my wife’s favorite places), I had her make some menus in true 4 year old fashion, set up a fake register and hostess stand and some other pretend things to make it semi real for my wife and boy to enjoy.
I picked up Olive Garden and brought it home for dinner and had Brooklyn (my daughter) start going through the paces with my wife and boy.
She had a blast and we all enjoyed our “home restaurant”
^^not my food. I’m a fagoili soup and rigatoni with 5 cheese Marinara with chicken kinda guy
