D.I.Y.

.
We set off on a journey to Ikea to pick up a tiny table and chair set. River has noticed the difference between her high-chair and the chairs that Jo and I sit in and wants her own little version. After looking at Babies'R Us and some other stores, we decided that the only place to find a set made of real wood that wouldn't require a second mortgage was everyone's favorite Swedish Meatball and furniture shop.
.

Of course, we had to stop by the Ikea Cafe. River had mac and cheese and cookies and milk. I couldn't get Jo or River interested in the Swedish meatballs. They were delicious! Thank you for asking.

And here it is: Assembled and sealed with a clear-coat. We did have to make a compromise however. . we have dinner at the big table with River in her high-chair but we have breakfast every morning at the little table. Jo gets the chair opposite River and I sit on the stool with my knees around my ears.

The next week found River on another DIY adventure. This time with her Mommy and Memaw, the destination was Home Depot. . and the project was. . of a much more comfortable nature than tiny wooden furniture.
