A Big Boy Day

Today turned out to be a big boy day for Chuck. I decided that I would let Chuck eat at his big boy table and see how he did. This was my dinner date...

He did very well. He would wander a few steps away and always come back for the next bite.

I think he may have eaten more tonight than he usually does. He had strawberries and I also cooked him an egg with some cheese in it ( veggie cheese.... cheese for vegans or vegetarians). He usually won't eat much egg but he kept coming back for more. I am trying to make sure I do not force food on him and give him plenty of time to eat. ( He is a slow eater like his daddy.) I was so proud of him tonight eating at the big boy table. Now, I didn't say it didn't make a mess...

A mess lasts all of a second, but the memory lasts a lifetime.

He is almost outgrowing his bath chair. I have tried multiple times to let him take a normal bath. This child is so crazy that he just slips and slides every where and I have about ten heart attacks while I am trying to bath him. I can not get him to sit down and it is just a huge crazifest and nothing gets done. Tonight I decided to let him try it again. I was so pleased that he sat on his behind or on his legs for about 7 minutes before he decided to crawl and then stand up. Progress, I'll take it. I know it will take time to get used to all the faucets and handles, etc. Baby steps... baby steps.
