Family Style Dining

I wanted to share an image of the chairs I just ordered for the littlest of our littles-

These are the mealtime chairs from Community Playthings. I am so anxious to get them in so that the infants can partake in sitting at the table with the toddlers (vs eating in a high chair). 

I also want to share my reasoning as to why we practice family style dining here. The children will learn and practice social skills for example- taking turns serving themselves from a dish, passing food items, using please and thank you, and helping set the table. The little ones feel like they are taking a big role in preparing the table and our meal and will be more inclined to eat something that they partook in preparing!
