New Reading Chair

On the morning of June 19th, I found Ella enjoying her new chair - sitting on top of her books.  Ha!  She thought she was so clever to be able to position herself in a way where she can sit comfortably.  It's finally time to get her a chair of her own to start practicing on.

Her friend Claire got her chair from HomeGoods so we made a trip out to Elk Grove to see if we can find a chair for Ella.  As we walked around the store, we were able to find one that we loved and would match Ella's room.

We brought the chair home, moved around some furniture and made Ella a storytime spot for her. The chair originally came with a rocking attachment (which freaked Ella out) but we decided to remove for fear of her following off and hurting herself.  I think Ella enjoys the chair as it is stationery and she's getting better at getting off it.

Until Ella can get up and down by herself, she'll still be enjoying her books on the floor. Just need to spend more time reading with her while she sits in it.
