Mammy Dearest: We wonder if Ted's genius will hold him back 

"I put him into the car and say how proud I am of him. Ted wraps his arms around my neck and squeezes me. He has been, as ever, the best company."

I have found eating out as a recent family of three such a stressful experience I have avoided it at all costs. My darling husband (hitherto to be known as DH) is much braver than me and suggests eating out with Ted at least three times a week - like we are in France or something. I decide to do the unthinkable for DH's birthday and bring Ted for dinner.
