We Need a Table!
Published by Kate
We need a kitchen table. Yes, we're on our third apartment of married life and still eating in our living room. Well, actually we had a table in our place in Toronto but I mostly used it for a desk. And in Aurora we had our great kitchen counter and we ate at our picnic table in the summer. But now it is winter and the picnic table is a little chilly, not to mention far away in the back yard. I have decided, though, that when Connor starts sitting and eating in a high chair we must model good eating behaviour and sit at a table. Dave agrees with this, although I don't know if it has completely hit him yet that there will be no more Seinfeld during dinner. There is enough room for a small table in our kitchen, we just haven't been able to find the right one yet. Sears and Ikea have neat ones that mount on the wall and fold down for space-saving. I wish we could get one of those because we could put it at wall height and use our nice bar stools that we bought in Aurora. Unfortunately this is an old house and the walls are filled with rubber...well, they're probably filled with plaster and that means you can't put a nail more than two inches in before it stops and wobbles around. I suppose there is some way to get around that, but we probably won't be here for so long that we would go to such measures. So I will keep looking.
