First Time at IKEA!

Over the Holiday weekend we went to Atlanta.  The intent was to get out of town since it was our anniversary and take the girlies to the zoo since it had cooled down (I will post soon on it).  My other 'plan' was to finally make it to an IKEA.  =)  Sunday after we checked out of the hotel we drove to IKEA on the way home.  The Lil' Cupcake was quite fussy.  It was naptime for her and also lunch time (they are so close together!).  She did not let me have my tour of the store like I had hoped for.  HOWEVER, I was able to get what I had made the trip to find....JUNIOR CHAIRS.  My girls go NUTS at the dinner table.  It's a stressful time just to sit down to dinner some nights.  I thought that the booster seat highchairs might need to go soon.  The Princess was constantly asking to sit in a big girl chair.  When I was strolling through IKEA online store I found the "junior chair".  It is a small chair that is up high like a booster seat.  Why we aren't selling them by the millions everywhere I will never know!  LOL!  We grabbed up two of them.  When we got home I immediately put them together and the next day after dress up play this is how snack time went:

No screams or tears...just smiles.  Ah....nice! =)  Now, I admit the Lil' Princess still loves the chairs and so does the Lil' Cupcake, however Cupcake can't fully 'jump' out yet like Sissie does.  So there are still some after dinner screams for someone to get her down.  After all, if her Sissie is finished and has been excused, then so should she.  LOL!  =)

I decided to purchase the natural wood color with plans to paint them later.  The chair is adorable.  I put our dining room table on Craigs List today and after we get it sold I plan to use that money to buy a new kitchen table.  At that point then I will get on painting them to match.  =)

So did/do your kids have a junior chair?  Did they ever detest the highchair/booster like mine? 

PS.  The old layout/background I was using was a freebie that was apparantly removed.  My blog went nuts for a day or so and I ended up using a blogger freebie temporarily...Until I can find the time to get it updated, I am afraid I will just be a plain jane.  ;-)

Have a good night yall!
