i dont really have any real advice, just wanted to say that this is how our DD has been as well. it is a variable feast, but i guess it is a sign that it is an age thing, rather than a behavioural mishap ITMS.

our dinner thing is really annoying too. we have now told her that although she doesnt like it, that's ok (remembering robin barkers 'mighty toddler' here...not to associate food with yuckiness itms). BUT that she has to stay at the table with mama and papa until they have finished. it seems to work well enough. even if she has a bit of a grumpy face lol. but we do find that then she *might* pick at a couple things, if not actually start eating...just a thought...
