Pull up a Chair

Benny loves to eat and whenever anyone is in the kitchen Benjamin always keeps a watchful eye on them.  So it is no surprise that whenever we sit down to eat at the kitchen table, Benjamin always helps himself to a seat.

This usually isn’t a problem and unless we have company over there is always two extra chairs at the table.  So we allow Benjamin to have a seat at the table.  Unless Cheerios are on the table, he usually has very good manners and does not try to snag anything off the table.  He just patiently sits on the chair watching us eat.  He really likes to be able to see what is going on and he just doesn’t have a good enough view from the floor.

What I find amusing about Benny sitting at the table with us while we eat is the way he sits on the chairs.  He always has one leg hanging out the middle of the chair.  Sometimes he tires while we are eating and starts to nod off.  I am waiting for him to slip right through the back of the chair one day.
