Wesley has been banished!

Where do you put a high chair in a trailer? You don't. That is the answer I have come to. It is just too big and constantly in the way. We thought about putting a baby seat on a folding chair and taking it on and off every meal, but I am practical. That is too much hassle and then the folding chair would most likely become a weapon for my two ninjas. The table is too flimsy to support one that hooks onto the edge of the table.

Our answer...we strapped the chair to the table leg. Kind of sad, but safe and practical.
It keeps him from being knocked over or pushed all over the place by the other boys. There is no large object to block the functionality of my kitchen space. It works. He has been banished and exiled. Poor baby!
One down side is the knee biting. When we all eat dinner together at the table Daniel and Jaxon have to sit next to the wall so they don't kick him, but that means he has easy access to our legs for biting opportunities. Lets not forget the handful of green beans he smashed on Johnny's shorts last night. That is fun too. The other down side is the easy access my other two boys have to unstrap him. They are quick so I have to make sure they leave him alone or food is everywhere and he ends up eating off the floor! A plus is that he cleans his own mess. If he drops something like the sippy cup, he picks it back up again on his own.
