Caleb's Table Manners

Caleb's going through a bad restaurant phase right now. He hates sitting in his highchair and waiting for the rest of us to eat. I remember this phase with Micah, too. Hope it doesn't last long cause we really enjoy socializing over dinner.

Caleb is great at home at the dinner table. Well, his manners are great anyway. It's his cleanliness that could use some work. He is seriously the messiest eater I've ever seen. We gave up on a bib when he was still an infant cause he'd scream to get it off. We've had a bit of success with the over-the-head bibs (as opposed to the ones that snap or velcro behind the neck) but eventually his mess grew so far beyond his bib that his shirt would be filthy by the end of the meal anyway. So now we go withot a bib and we just know that after every meal there will be a wardrobe change.
Check out that cup!!

Caleb and Annabel has SO much in common. We've gotten to the point that once she outgrows her booster seat, we're just gonna throw out the crumb-encrusted wooden chair that it's attached to. No amount of cleaner can get that stuff off!

Parker just has a problem with throwing food on the floor. But when he does eat something messy I just take his clothes off...less laundry!!! :)
