BIG BOY BOOSTER (a quiet dinner at last!)

Today I bought Nate a new booster chair (big boy chair) for the bar stool.  For the past year he has been sitting in a high chair next to the bar.  This high chair was a charming chair: cute little zoo animals, cozy cushion, removable tray.  Yet since the day we brought it into the house, to Nate it has been a TORTURE CHAMBER!  Each meal in this chair has been miserable.  And not just for Nate.  The crying.....the complaining......the screaming.  But today it all changed!  All because of a cheap green plastic booster chair.  But to Nate, it is his ticket to the big people table.  He no longer has to look longingly at his big sister in the tall stool.  Now he gets to be apart of it all.  Tonight, sitting next to his big sister, he had the BIGGEST grin on his face.  The meal was a pleasure (except for the stolen corn from Natalie's plate).  Nate even ate all his food without any oozing or spitting out.  He LOVES this new chair.  Which means Mommy LOVES this new chair!
