So, we were having a bit of a problem getting Nora to eat. Seems unlike her, I know, but the issue was that she got pissed off every time we put her in her chair, particularly when we tried to strap her in. Also she very clearly wanted to be able to get in and out of her chair on her own terms. How to handle such a situation? Why, just like we handle most other parenting dilemmas... find out what Rachel and Peter do, and then do the exact same thing.
I introduce to you the Tripp Trapp chair.
OH BABY is this thing sweet! First of all, it's incredibly well built. Secondly, she can get in and out of it by herself. This has been a key sticking point. And the design allows us to adjust the seat and foot rest so that the chair grows with the child. She'll be doing her homework in this chair until the day she leaves for college. It cost a mint, but it was worth every penny. There's also a kit that you can use to make the seat appropriate for infants, but we kind of missed out on that window.
So how has Nora's been eating? Well, we've had mixed results. Turns out she's just kind of a pain in the ass sometimes. But it did get her to to give us one of these:
Think she likes it?
Again, worth every penny.

oh you guys! we were just talking about getting another one of these for john. daniel didn't use his for about a year because he wanted a "grownup" chair. but then he also liked to put his feet on the table. that has decreased dramatically since he went back to the footrest and his tripp trapp. :)
