Things we love: groovy dishes from Boon

There are countless things on your child’s to-do list that you prepare for, make a huge fuss about, and photograph obsessively.

The first smile (caused by something other than gas), the first mumble that resembles “mama”, the first attempt to crawl across the hardwoods to reach a favorite toy.

These firsts are all thrilling, and totally merit maxing out the memory on your camera. But I have to say my favorite of the milestones is the introduction of solid foods.

This one requires a whole lot more than the camcorder. You need a naked baby, 4-6 extra hands, a special chair, protective covering for anything within 10 feet of the table, a hose, and of course, cool dishes to entice your little one to dive right in.

The ultra-mod feeding line from Boon is perfect for the job. They’re bright, non-breakable, and designed with your child’s small hands in mind.

Fluid is easy to grip, Snack Ball is just the right size, and Groovy makes mealtime fun with its interlocking compartments and dipping bowls.

This rite of passage into toddlerhood deserves nothing but the best. And Boon is just that – the best!
