[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8yo is still a little messy.  [b]Gets crumbs all over her placemat bc she will not, I mean will not, remember to eat over her plate. [/b]

She loves spaghetti, but insists on eating noodles and sauce separately.  So she's picky, but makes for less mess.

Kids are messy, OP--it improves a little year by year.[/quote]

omg, this is us too!  My kids hold their food and then turn around in their chairs, or turn to talk to each other, or fiddle with their shoelaces or whatever.  Gah!  Put the sandwich down![/quote]

YEP!  The big issue here is that he doesn't pay attention when he is reaching for something on the table or just doesn't see where his arms are and end up knocking over his or someone else's drink.  I don't remember having this many problems when he was a toddler geeze.  He does use a fork when eating spaghetti but when cant twirl it all on his fork, he will use his fingers to get it on his fork!  Then touches everything else and will wipe it on his shirt instead of using his napkin.  I have taken a picture of his face after he eats and showed it to him and he will laugh thinking its the funniest thing!  Really??? How old is he??[/quote]
