What's in a chair?

What’s in a chair?

Well, a lot! Laurel and Anabelle beg to sit in “big girl chairs”. Those are just any chair that doesn’t have a booster seat in them. We don’t even buckle them into the seat, but they want to be in big girl seats. Corbin has always had the high chair. We never really did high chairs with the girls. We did those clip on chairs to the table. But we were afraid that Corbin would flip our table!
So, every once in a while I will let him sit in a blue booster at the table while the girls are all in “big girl chairs” eating a snack. He loves it!
We decided to retire the high chair…well at least for a few months! So Corbin moved to a blue booster(buckled in of course) and the girls are officially in “big girl chairs!”
This is what I have discovered out of all of this….
I need taller chairs for one. Laurel and Anabelle are so short in those chairs. And did you know you can be sitting perfectly still and fall flat on your face out of a chair. Interesting isn’t it!
I have also learned that Corbin is the comic at the table. Now that he is not in the seating that is over near the “kitchen”, and part of the table…he makes sure everyone can see him and will do anything for a good laugh.
I have also discovered that Laurel and Corbin have the same sense of humor. They both are just goofy until everyone laughs. So once they are competing, we have lost all control and dinner is over!
Anabelle finds it very difficult to stay in her seat. There are just so many things to do around her. I think I say, “Anabelle, please stay seated.” Like a record box, without looking. I refer to those as friendly reminders.
Chloe now has to sit next to Corbin. This may make her thinner then normal, because I have noticed Corbin finishing his food and going for hers. Poor kid!

Well, that is what is in a chair!
PS: Fred and I… we are going to be standing and eating because our table has run out of room. Can you believe that is something we look at first in a house we are considering buying? We have to make sure a long…long table will fit!
