Velcro Power

»

Today, I start tying Yauyau`s legs against the bamboo chair during feeding time. I have been having the hardest and most frustrating times trying to keep her seated instead of climbing out of it. I only have two arms, one for holding the bowl of porridge, and another one to press down her shoulder when she attempts to get out, just in case she falls off the chair. Sometimes I have to deploy my legs to clamp her body while I try to find a place to place the bowl of food.

The velcro straps are perfect. She couldn`t move much with both legs restrained. It is also wonderful that the restriction didn`t aggitate her at all, else I might just give in and remove the straps. I don`t have to do any more juggling during meal time anymore.
