What a beautiful day it was today! After our normal routine after school, we all went outside. Eva was not to sure about the bright sun that made her sneeze and eyes tearing slowly but she did like watching her 2 big sisters playing kickball and Abigail driving her pink Mustang. After we came inside about 1.5 hours later, she was watching me make dinner. I could tell that she was getting hungry saying "mum-mum-num" over and over. So, she took her own initiative and went to her high chair. As I watched her, she held onto the foot step, prompted up one knee, and hoisted herself to the standing position. Her head kept getting stuck in between the slots under the tray so I just took it off. I could tell that there was some remnants of her previous meal in the seat area because she was on her tip-toes trying to reach some old piece of chicken nugget or possible banana. She then looked at me and said in her baby sign "eat". I got the camera, took a picture, and then saw that she had something successful in her mouth. Yuck. So, I just decided to let her "win" this triumphant battle and place her in the highchair, cleaning out the seat first, and awarding her with a Ritz cracker. Victory on both ends.
