One of the gifts she received was a table and chairs set for playtime. Well, as soon as we got home, we got it set up and one of the first things she did was color on the chairs and the table. I guess she was making her mark to let everyone know that it is HER table and chairs.
We made the mistake of giving her a snack at her new table and for the next several days she insisted upon eating all of her meals, especially breakfast, at her new table. Good and bad. Good for the fact she is learning to sit in a chair and finish her food, but bad because she wants to get up more often. And since the chairs are still just a teensy bit too high for her, I have to help her onto the chair each and every time.
We now have a habit of moving the table back and forth from the living room and breakfast area for meals and play time. I originally had planned to have this set in her room for coloring, playing, etc, but I just don't know if that is going to work. The past few days she has been wanting to sit at her normal seat in the kitchen since we are at the table as well. I like being able to control (and strap her in for safety) her meal times...at least for now.
These are from the first night with the table and chairs...
In case you are wondering, the table and chairs set is from IKEA's Children's Collection. It is a great plastic that wipes clean easily and comes in several cute colors. It is a great kid-friendly table and chairs set.
Until next time...Gig'em!
