Lately, James has been wanting to join in at meals, since the table is obviously where all the interesting things happen. The high chair was at Gramma's, waiting for the day it would be needed again, and out it came. Watching was not enough, though.

A tiny dab of mashed potatoes was received well and accompanied by a look requesting more.
