My kids were all very well behaved too and would have done pretty well, and we did take them to fancy meals when quite young, but know it's not for every family. I'm SO glad you are able to do the things you want to do and it works for her. It's excellent training for public behavior as she grows up! Good on YOU!!!!! I do wish that parents would expect quiet, SEATED manners with kids and dining out. It's not only a bummer for other guests, but downright dangerous for the servers. Keep the kids in their seats and using indoor voices!
