High Chairs are now No More!!

posted in Mom's Corner, Triplets |

Ok, so do you want to know when it is ready to move your triplets onto big girl chairs at the table?  When you see all 3 of them sitting on top of their trays with their butts sitting on their plates of food.   Can I just say…. eeewwwweeeeee.      I tell you it is enough to give Cliff and me heart attackes.   Those chairs can tip over if the baby is sitting on top of the tray.    Thankfully the chairs can be made shorter so we did that and that helped keep the girls contained in their high chairs for let’s say…. a couple of blissful weeks.  Then we were back to heart attack causing scarey tray sitting girls.  So that is when it was time to ditch the high chairs and begin the ugly and messy process of booster chairs with plates and spoons and bowls and forks.    No way am I ditching the sippy cups yet.     I just don’t think I could take that change quite yet.

So for the past couple of weeks I have been transitioning the triplets from their high chairs to booster chairs and eating at the dining room table.   Can I just scream now please!!    They climb out of them and onto the table.    I am also teaching them to eat with forks and spoons for toddlers and eat on plastic bowls and plates.    Can I just tell you how painfully messy this is!!   Picture this, bowls and plates floating in the air at mutliple speed and you can’t get there fast enough to catch them all.   Oh, and the mess on their pretty little faces and precious little hands.   I tell you, it is enough to make me want to just let them feed by the bottle only!   I need to repeat my mantra… “IT IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT”.   Sarah Grove wrote that song, she is a Christian singer and that is her song and my NATIONAL ANTHEM for my family.
