Table Tootsies

Elliotte has decided that she is now grown up 

and too big to sit in a baby high chair any longer. 

She insists on sitting in a booster seat,

just like her big sister.

I'm not one to give in to my kids desires,

just because they scream,

but honestly, this high chair/booster seat fight

went on for way too long.

Every meal, every snack, every day for a week.

I caved.

I still have a headache and my children are semi-benefiting from it.

They're smart

and are realizing that I am starting to give in to them

if they're loud enough.

I need this headache gone,

so I can regain control of my household!!!

In the mean time,

the only reason I wanted to keep Elliotte in the high chair

is because she's still a messy eater.

Having her contained to one space made things easier for clean up.

Now that she has her own space at the table...

let's just say we have to budget in more time for cleaning.

Blue is loving it though!

He's getting more and more handouts

as more and more food (and beverages) hit the floor.

I love you and your determination Miss Elliotte Paige!

Piper thinks this is all hilarious by the way!

Oh and speaking of Piper,

she had her first encounter with Santa in the mall today.

It resulted in her attaching herself to me like a Koala bear

and losing her lollipop....

which we later found stuck to my back.

In hindsight, perhaps I should have warned her that he'd be there!

Classy lady!
This one is ready for some Five Star restaurants. 

Here she is sticking mashed potatoes to her fingers
and shouting "Ta Da"!

Piper is still in her "act serious for photos and then demand to see them straight away" stage.
I'll be happy when her smiley face returns!
