I consider any meal at which a fork is used for at least a few bites, no food is deliberately wiped on the table/thrown on the floor and fingers stay out of the nose a win.

I'm wondering if it's worth the energy to force the issue. I've been trying to just say, "Okay, if you get up that's the end of your meal." He doesn't want to be in the booster seat, but if he sits in a normal chair, it's too much freedom. Thanksgiving lunch at relatives was served at 1:30, way after he eats lunch and just before he normally naps. He had a huge snack before we left home. It was no wonder he didn't feel like eating while there. Luckily it was casual and he played in the living room with his cousin's Thomas tracks (of course!). Just yesterday my husband walked through the door and said, "Hey, he's not wearing pants!" We're starting to potty train and he has decided that he loves being free willy. And there is no way he's letting you put on a diaper or underpants after he has taken them off to sit on the potty. (Totally impressed with your French! I have a funny story involving pants and my first day in France.) My two-year-old doesn’t want to sit at the table for the entire meal. I’m wondering if it’s worth the energy to force the issue.

The one I use is "both knees under the table," but the French one is much better. Oh yes, four. Exquisite charm mixed with the occasional piercing whine. What a vivid quote!
