Joining us at the table

It was definitely getting to be time for the girls to join us at the table when we eat, and the booster seats we were using, while they supported Hannah pretty well, were not great at putting her in the correct 90/90 seating position we want to encourage. So we ordered her a Special Tomato chair (I am so not a fan of that name!) and got the same one for Isabelle, minus the seat and back cushions for added support.

Although Hannah has to work a little bit while she's sitting in it, she really sits up straight and tall and that's so good for her. And the other great thing about these chairs (which are very similar to the Stokke chairs) is that they are fully adjustable so as your child grows, the chair grows with them so they can be used for a really long time.

Both girls love their chairs and the new placements we got them and the whole idea of sitting right with us at the table. We're also using bowls/plates/silverware all the time now instead of some times just putting food right on the booster seat tray. Seeing them sitting there with their bowls and silverware, we can't believe what big girls they've become!

Just a side note: the girls are wearing their hats inside because Hannah insisted on it, and since she has this nasty stomach bug (second one this winter!) I decided I couldn't say no. It was just about the only thing that made her smile all day. And then of course Isabelle had to wear hers, too. So here they are, hats and new chairs and all.
