For those of you with toddlers

We are cruising in the fall on the 4 day Wonder. myself, DH, Ds (4.5) and DS 17 months and 1 day old.

I was looking at pictures on Expedia of the dining rooms etc. and started worrying about me 17 month old during supper> He is a total opposite of his older brother and aswe say "quite active".

Would it be horrible to make reservations for him at Flounders say from 6:00 pm -10:00 pm say for 2 or 3 of the 4 evening?

My 4 year old has been very traumatized this year and we are wanting him to relax and really enjoy himself. His behavior is always top of the line.

What do you all think? If he is beahving can I take him Flounders later as long as I tell them and pay (i.e. he makes it thorugh dinner so we let him stay but then want to take him to the nursery so we can take the 4 year old to a show)?

Sorry so lenghty. I am the type that has a hard time ever leaving my children anaywhere but I really want to make it right for my older DS????

My DS8 and DD5 get along very well for the most part and I think this is because we make sure they each have quality time alone with us. I really think you are on the right track by arranging for your older son to have alone time with you. My DS needed it desperately at that age. Trust your instincts. I think dinner time and show time are good times to make appointments at Flounders. How many and how long is up to your comfort level. Definitely use Flounders for dinner at Tritons. I bet your younger one would really like Animators Palate.
Good luck!
