For potential mums out there.....

How to keep an 11 month old occupied while you are having dinner.

Always have the following items.

1) Mints or candy in a box. So that they can shake and fling across the room. Hopefully it doesn't hit someone on the head.

2) Plastic Bag. It makes a lot of sound and they love it.

3) Wet tissue and tissue paper. They love to pull paper out of the pack and tear it to bits. The good thing is you don't have to clean up the mess if you are eating out.

4) Keys. Just make sure you are eating at a noisy place. Cling clang cling clang....

5) Food would be good too.

6) Menu with lots of pictures. So that they can look at all the colourful pictures and lick the damn thing.

But keep the following away from them.

1) Chopsticks and forks. These small people like to poke themselves with it.

2) Edge of the table. Small people also like to lick the rims.

3) Napkins, coasters, placemats.....they have incredible strength and can drag every from the table onto the floor with one swift movement.
