Fun in the Big Girl Chair

Emily has been using the "big girl chair" for eating lately. In general it has been going well. The floor definitely gets messier! Yesterday I experimented with leaving the gate off and allowing Emily & Cheney to interact most of the day. They did fine and didn't get into too much trouble until suppertime when Emily figured out it was fun to feed Cheney directly off her plate. That got Cheney gated off downstairs pretty quickly! ;o) Last night Emily also figured out it's fun to dip french fries in ketchup!

Today I thought it would be fun to try playing with the play dough I got from the Easter clearance bins at Target. It amused Emily for 30 minutes, but she was mostly just interested in the containers and the lids rather than the actual play dough. I'm sure that day will come soon!
