After 3 years of four high chairs taking over our kitchen we are finally done with them. It was with mixed emotion that we get rid of them; another sign that ASOM are no longer babies, no more going to the bathroom in peace when I know they are buckled safely in their chairs, but also NO MORE WASHING HIGH CHAIR TRAYS! I think that fact alone out weighs any of the sad feelings I have been having. If I never have to wash another high chair tray, I won’t be sad at all!
So long high chairs!
Welcome built in bench (constructed by my dad) and dining room table. As you see, we did leave one high in the corner just in case someone has the wiggles or needs a time out. We haven’t even needed to use it that much. I have four favorites about our new bench. My dad making the bench for us is first and foremost of the favorites, eating together at the table has made meal times quieter, the entire bench has storage (one can never have too much storage, especially with 5 kiddos), and our kids are actually arguing about setting the table, clearing the table, and washing dishes. Arguing in a good way, they all want to help (it’s great!) I love having help in the kitchen!
Our first dinner with the new bench. It fit the seven of us and my parents perfectly.
It also fits ten kids pretty well.
So long high chairs welcome new stages(with mixed emotions).
Happy New Year!
