Good luck with that one. We are still working on trying to figure that out as well. Luckily we have a dog who cleans most of it up. The only thing I do is to constantly tell her where food does go - in her mouth or on the table. She totally understands this because when I ask her where food goes she points to her mouth and then the table. Then she looks at the dog and starts chucking her food to him as fast as she can because that is obviously more fun. So, I am back to square one. If she is 20 and still throwing food I have obviously failed as a mother. Hopefully someone else will have a good tip that I can try too. GOOD LUCK!!!
Uhh...I am having the same problem with Sadie. Although she doesn't throw her food yet, she feels the need to sneeze every time she has a mouth full of food! I will probably be posting about it in the future.
oh maxster, good thing youre so dang cute! Ive been meaning to tell you, I get emails from our cuz Jake and I sent him the link to our blogs, he said he wants you to do his wedding...ha! he said that sicks him out to think about but he said that whenever that happens youre the photog and to pass that news on to you!
I seriously am going to invite you over to see the mess on my floor after EVERY meal! I don't even think they eat. ever. Now they know the word and say "mess...mess" while they throw it! whatever, but that little photo series was quite adorable!
Good luck with that one. Taylee insits on feeding Roxy at every meal. Good to know that I'm not the only one struggling with this because Danny seems to think that I can make her stop. Help!
My little boy did that everytime he ate something and we started taking him out of his high chair everytime it happened and wouldn't let him have the food. That sounds cruel because you aren't letting your kid eat but we did it for a couple of days of taking him in and out of his high chair and he would scream that we wouldn't let him have his food and then all of a sudden he stopped throughing it everything. He figured out that if we threw the food he had to get out. He did really good for a long time and then when he turned two he started doing it again so we started taking him back out again but this time we made him clean up his own mess. We would pull the trash can out and make him pick up all the food on the floor. He hated that but after a couple of days he figured out he didn't have to clean it up if he didn't put it there so he stopped. Maybe we are cruel but it was only for a couple of days and taught him what he needed to learn.

ReplyDeleteI need some help with this as well. Naomi is naughty when she eats. Haha
ReplyDeletenot possible. I've tried everything. Last night he was chucking green beans farther than he has ever thrown his baseball!
ReplyDeleteit must be fun for them...or maybe their only way of communcating that "their done" or "this sucks!".

Nope, no way to keep his food contained, so my advice is to invest in one of those small hand held vacuums. They're miracle workers!
