We have been trying something new and revolutionary the past few days: eating dinner at the table, together! For a long time we would come home from work, pop a meal into the microwave and sit down in front of the TV for some relaxation.
We cleaned the downstairs of our house because we had the cable triple play installed last weekend. We are now able to see the dining room table as well as the kitchen table and have decided to make the most of it. Monday night and last night we ate in the dining room, tonight we all ate in the kitchen.
Monday night we talked about homework. Last night the conversation was "we've got to go, the meeting starts in 20 minutes!" Tonight the conversation was about how our day went and what we are doing as a family over the next few weeks. I am excited that we are spending time together. I am happy that even though she wants to leave the table she is willing to stay long enough for everyone to finish eating and has even begun to clean her plate and cup up afterward.
Yes the family dinner table is going to be back in our family!
