This morning, I took my baby to breakfast at Cafe Republic in Fort Worth, Texas. He is teething, so I thought a pancake might help him feel better.
He was very fussy and trying to climb everywhere. I was worried he might bother other people, so I wanted to pay and leave without eating. I started packing up my food to hurry out. Then our server came over and asked if she could help. (I thought she meant helping me pack my food.)
But instead, she asked if she could hold my baby. She said, “I will hold him so you can eat. Eat, mama. I know you probably don’t get much time to eat. I’ve been there!” My baby calmed down in her arms and stopped fussing. I got to eat for a little while without trying to hold him. It meant so much to me. Servers are amazing. Moms are amazing. It really takes a village. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
