The girls have been getting pretty restless in their high chairs lately - it's become a battle every time we try to snap on their trays. Our usual routine has unfortunately been for us to put them in their chairs, snap on the trays, and push them in front of the TV so that I can get other stuff done and they can be distracted long enough to sit and eat. I hate that it's come to that, and have been thinking we need to change this for some time. We're not setting a very good example for them by plopping them in front of the tube to eat while they see mom & dad walking about doing other things. My hope is that we start all sitting down as a family at dinner time, and hopefully this will create some normalcy and a routine for everyone.
So we bought them "Big Girl" booster seats. These take up much less space (will be great to take with us when we travel or to restaurants), have NO trays, and will allow the girls to be pushed right up to the table so they can eat like big girls with mom & dad. And they're PINK! (Just for you, Aunt Nee Nee).
I took them out of the box for the girls to play with last night. Caroline was more interested than Liv, and was concerned that "Wibby" wouldn't come sit down in hers.

I love booster seats. I've actually been using them with my twins since they were 7 months old or so...hated the big bulky highchairs! Our came with trays which I did until they were 20 months old and for the past month, I've been letting them eat at the table, too. With a plate and utensils. They have to learn at some point, right?
Hope the girls will enjoy their big girl seats, too!
