But I have to give a big thanks to Pastries A Go Go in Decatur. It's officially our favorite brunch restaurant in Atlanta. Justin and I love going to brunch, and it's really a treat for us. Plus, the timing works well with a little one. Going to dinner can be difficult since pushing things too late ends up with an exhausted baby and a meltdown. But brunch is just right. We're learning that there are certain parts of town and certain restaurants that are less than baby friendly. For some places, it's the lack of changing tables in the bathroom. This might not seem like a big deal, but after changing Roxanne in the trunk of our hatchback once or twice, I've realized the merits of the public bathroom changing table. Then there is the obvious disposition of the staff and patrons at certain restaurants towards little ones. Some ignore them, some fawn over them, and others act like you are polluting their establishment with the pitter patter of little feet. Pastries A Go Go has a lovely changing table, and the staff is tolerant of little ones. They don't fawn over them, which is actually refreshing for people like me who get a little overwhelmed and stressed by the constant and seemingly undeniable urge that strangers have to touch Roxanne's hands (gross and rude, even if well-intentioned). The high chairs are functional and clean, and there are usually quite a few other rugrats running around. The food is also delicious. Like seriously delicious. The photo above is Roxanne sitting at the table at Pastries. Doesn't she look amused? That's the face she makes after she has tossed one of her toys off the table for the ninth or tenth time. I think I will only buy toys for Roxanne from now on that come equipped with a leash. And that was the other thing. No one at the restaurant ever gave us a dirty look, even though Roxanne was throwing things like a little Tasmanian devil. She doesn't scream though. And she was flirting with a little boy at the table behind us. He was screaming. Maybe he sensed that no one really minded...
