The Dinner Dilemma

As you may remember, we've been having issues lately with Abby eating all of her dinner.  So, a few weeks ago, we imposed some new rules.  She wasn't getting down from the dinner table until her plate was clear.

It took Abby a few nights, but she seems to have finally figured it out.  I already wrote about the first night.  The second and third nights were better, but still not great.

However, since then, we haven't had to leave her at the table by herself.  And it's been a few weeks now.  She usually eats all her dinner without much fuss.  Our bigger problem is just getting her to focus on dinner.  She likes to talk a lot at the dinner table, and kind of forgets to eat.  We have to keep reminding her to get started.

We're very happy that dinner time is no longer a struggle every night!  Hooray!
