The Big People Table

Staucie loves to sit at the kitchen table (which is a card table, but hey, it's all we have). She recently discovered she can get up and down all by herself if she puts her stool/booster chair next to the big chair. She loves to get up and down and eat her bowl of crackers or Cherrios. She can't hold still, but has only fallen off onto her head once! She thinks that now that she is a big sister that she should sit at the big table. Of course, she still likes her highchair, which is where she eats most of her meals since she can't hold still and likes to throw food. I have tried telling her no, but she just repeats me while throwing more food. I have also tried softly smacking her hand and saying no when she does things she shouldn't but then she just says no and hits my hand too. She thinks it is a game. She has a lot of energy and sometimes she just goes crazy and throws everything and hits me and Parker. We have been hit by her and flying objects many a time, but we love her so!
