similar to PP - we have had certain places where food is put & DS can help himself. most of the time (we've been slack in the last few weeks) dinner is at the table & we expect him to sit to eat at least a couple of mouthfuls. apparently dinner is no longer in vogue so a couple of mouthfuls is a good night these days

we try & eat with him where possible (dinner always) so that it's a social thing & he sees us doing the same thing.

my theory is small steps - and until i can really reason with him, i'm prepared for there to be a little bit of slack.
