Whenever we eat out as a family, I always order what I want: say, a steak.

Mrs. Bee will very thoughtfully order what she thinks Charlie might eat off of her plate. That's so smart, because he eats better when he eats what we are eating. (ETA: We also order a separate plate, just for him.)

I am going to make a big effort to be more like Bee. I don't know why it never occurs to me to order for Charlie instead of myself. I am often surprised and touched at how she will put Charlie's needs ahead of her own. I am only slowly getting better at that.

When you eat out with LO, do you order based on what you want to eat, or what LO might eat off of your plate? What about your SO?
