If she is feeling hangry or shy I will just get her something I know she'll like, otherwise she orders </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ordering-at-restaurants#post-2739979 Thu, 25 May 2017 10:19:31 +0000 Smurfette 2739979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She orders for herself after we read the menu to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ordering-at-restaurants#post-2739957 Thu, 25 May 2017 09:52:16 +0000 autumnlove 2739957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We give them a few choices and order for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ordering-at-restaurants#post-2739942 Thu, 25 May 2017 09:35:14 +0000 fancyfunction 2739942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is 4 and usually orders. It's a skill I want her to have and be comfortable doing so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ordering-at-restaurants#post-2739935 Thu, 25 May 2017 09:24:54 +0000 Alivoo01 2739935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kiddos normally just eat off our plate, but we do inquire what they'd like to eat and take it into consideration. We order though. My kids are 3.5 and 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ordering-at-restaurants#post-2739916 Thu, 25 May 2017 08:54:29 +0000 looch 2739916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son orders his own meal, sometimes, I do order his beverage though, to not waste too much time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ordering-at-restaurants#post-2739900 Thu, 25 May 2017 08:34:45 +0000 ShootingStar 2739900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 3.5 and we still order for him. He's really shy with strangers so we haven't pushed him to order yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ordering-at-restaurants#post-2739870 Thu, 25 May 2017 08:11:16 +0000 SweetiePie 2739870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 2.5 and we try to have him order. I'd say he does 80% of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ordering-at-restaurants#post-2739864 Thu, 25 May 2017 08:02:03 +0000 mediagirl 2739864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I order. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ordering-at-restaurants#post-2739862 Thu, 25 May 2017 08:01:06 +0000 catgirl 2739862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hit or miss if she wants to right now at 2.5. We encourage her to order but don't make it a battle if she doesn't want to. Depending on the name of the dish and how clearly she says it we will have to repeat it to the waiter though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ordering-at-restaurants#post-2739855 Thu, 25 May 2017 07:54:58 +0000 nana87 2739855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo1 will usually tell the waiter herself what she wants, immediately before the waiter is even ready to take our order :silly: the waitstaff usually confirms with us that we actually want to order it haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ordering-at-restaurants#post-2739849 Thu, 25 May 2017 07:49:08 +0000 Alba4 2739849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3.5 year old orders for himself. He also likes to help pay. The baby obviously doesn't talk yet, but I will encourage him to order for himself once he is old enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ordering-at-restaurants#post-2738009 Thu, 25 May 2017 07:15:00 +0000 Boogs 2738009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do your kids order their own food when you go out to eat or do you order it for them?</p> <p>We have one local place that LO1 always orders from because he knows exactly what he wants. The manager is also super sweet and also already knows his order so usually has it started for us right away, but still comes over to take LO's order. :) Other places we don't frequent, we just order for the kids. </p>
