Sittin' At The Bar

After leaving the zoo, we headed straight to Toys R Us to pick up a kiddie table-and-chairs set for Carter. He's been doing a lot of "work" at the table at school, so we thought we'd encourage the studious behavior with a similar setup at home. Also, the teachers won't let the kiddos have any snacks unless they're sitting in their seats, so we thought that was another behavior we should mimic at home (besides, running + chomping on snacks = bad news...).

Watching Carter get up in the chairs is about the CUTEST THING EVER because even though they're only about a foot tall, he can't just plop his behind in them. Instead, he has to crawl up on it and try to turn himself around...all without letting the chair tip over. ENTIRELY cute!

Anyway, I snapped a few quick photos of him eating a snack at his new table (and I was kind enough to help get him seated and pushed in correctly) - Matt says it looks like he's sitting at the "bar"...hahaha!:
Of course, the table can be used for toy storage, too:
Such a proper young man, eh?
Always on the look-out for a snack-thief:
If you click on this next one, you can see his expression...which basically says: "Stay away from my snacks, buster!" (Or as Matt says, this expression is "Yeah, I got woman problems, ya know what I mean?" - again, like he's sitting at the bar...)
And one more shot - showing off the chair in the background. Carter had a blast pushing the table and chairs all around the living room. More push toys, yay! (And also, you can see the big pile of books in the background...his new thing is to take EVERYTHING out of the storage basket/bin/etc. and put it on the floor. Hopefully soon we'll learn how to put things back IN the storage baskets/bins/etc...)
Hope you're having a fantastic week! Tomorrow we're going to work on some coloring! Got a new table, some new crayons, so why not?!
