He often eats more quickly and neatly if we let him run around the table and chase him with a spoon. Breeding bad habits, I know - he'll become one of those "eat on the run" kids with lousy table manners if we don't get some discipline. And we try, but he HATES being confined.
On that note, we recently got one of those baby-sling things. (I got sick of lugging the stroller around when we took him out, and he hates being latched into the thing.) He looooves it. And I can carry him a long time without killing my back, unlike the baby bjorn (I gave that up 4 months ago - he was outgrowing it anyway, but it was really bad on my back). I'd like to say I look like one of those cool, young, granola-crunchy-hippy moms, particularly given all the "wear your baby - it's natural!" literature that came with the thing, but I got the sling in basic black so I just look like a sort of urban mail carrier. However, Trepidation Dad now wants one, too - he was jealous of me running around wearing the Kid all weekend.
