Took Xander to Red Robin today for his birthday lunch. That’s where he said he wanted to go when we asked. So we mention to the waiter that it’s Xander’s birthday and, as expected, most of the waitstaff shows up with baloons and a sundae for him and sings to him. They even announced to the entire restaurant that he was turning 3. Xander was kind bewildered by it. Then they walked away and we explained to him that they were singing to him because it was his birthday. You should have seen the smile on his face. He thought that was so cool. He also enjoyed his sundae quite a bit. I won’t be surprized if he asks us for one next time. We had some birthday cake after dinner tonight also and he got to blow out the “3″ candle, which he thought was great fun.
Red Robin is a great place, btw. Great food and completely non-smoking! Extremely kid friendly. We end up going once every other week or so because it’s just the perfect place to take Xander. He loves the grilled cheese sandwiches there.
