I agree in principle that seeing everyone eat the same food does help. However going on our experiences, he’ll be fussy periodically! And most annoyingly, he’ll be fussy over food that he was happily eating and liking last year…

It's not something I remember doing as a child - generally speaking food was something you ate quite quickly so you could either a) go back to playing, or b) secure seconds before someone else grabbed it! Kat - perhaps he won't be fussy - as he sees us eating the same stuff as him (i.e. it's not like he might think we're secretly eating $really_nice_food behind his back... well, mostly not anyway) Rob – yes, that sounds a good idea.

This way the kids get to tell us about their day and learn the art of conversation. We go round the table where everyone has the oppirtunity to talk about their favourite part of the day, which is a good way to get them to talk! Rob...
