A New Perspective

July 7, 2011

Before we went to Ontario, we picked out a high-chair online but just didn't get around to ordering it.  Of course, when there was word of a possible strike within the Canada Post, I made the order quickly.  Not quick enough!  The high-chair was stuck in at the boarder for weeks but now it is here!  It was worth the wait.  I was so excited that I tried to build it as soon at it arrived so that Finlay could have dinner in it.  But, he wanted to play so the chair had to wait.  As with most things, it was built after Finlay went down for the night. It was easy enough to put together and the finished product is so beautiful!  The chair is functional art for the house!  Thanks to Nans & Gramps for helping out with this one!

Here is Finlay at breakfast the next morning.  He had a rice "rusk" (cracker) and some water while we ate.  He loved it!  As our friend Aaron pointed out, it must be a whole new perspective from the chair.  A new height and a new way to interact with us when we are at the table.

The kitchen table is such a special place where lots of memories are made.  This chair turns into a toddler and kid chair and even an everybody chair!

What a big baby!  He is getting so strong and curious and smart and....  It's crazy how every little thing he does blows my mind!

Here is a video of Finlay playing with his toy "Boogie" from his Auntie Car.  Notice that he is moving things from one hand to the other!

That's all for now.  Gotta get ready for a busy weekend of sailing and camping!
