[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason I'm cutting it out is because DC has learned to expect it. There is no reason to be expecting any one thing, just food. [/quote] I guess I don’t get this? It seems fine for kids to get used to (and even expect!) a consistent order and type of courses for meals. When I was growing up we just did meal and dessert every night for dinner if it was a normal day, but hors d'oeuvres/drinks, entree, salad, dessert, coffee if we were doing a holiday meal or my parents had friends coming over for dinner. It’s fun to get a sense of what foods go well together or in sequence, know what course is coming next, etc. and sets expectations for kids about sitting and conversing between courses at the dinner table.[/quote]
