I am trying to teach him to just put his arms out and say "all done!" He does it...and then windshield wipers. But I will say that occasionally (a few times a week) he will instead hand me what's on his tray. This morning he had waffle and yogurt. When he was done with waffle he handed me the pieces and then pointed at the yogurt. So hoping we are turning a corner! I've also found that it helps to not leave more than a few pieces at a time. I used to load up the tray. Bad idea! edelweiss on "does your young toddler toss food when they're done?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-young-toddler-toss-food-when-theyre-done#post-2398071 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:03:27 +0000 edelweiss 2398071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @erinbaderin: haha "milk sleeping". where do kids get this stuff. this is one of the reasons why i'm reluctant to start solids with LO2. trying to keep things simpler for as long as possible. nana87 on "does your young toddler toss food when they're done?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-young-toddler-toss-food-when-theyre-done#post-2398054 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:58:19 +0000 nana87 2398054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep! She still does this at 20 months if we don't catch it in time. Our dogs have stopped eating the berries she flings, lol, they've gotten sick of them MenagerieMama on "does your young toddler toss food when they're done?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-young-toddler-toss-food-when-theyre-done#post-2398020 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:49:44 +0000 MenagerieMama 2398020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes!! Does this ever end? We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and even the cats will eat the scraps now. We have to lock all the animals up while she eats because she also likes watching them eat her food and will throw it for fun even if she's still hungry. I try to only give her a few bites at a time because sometimes it just all goes in the floor and its soooo frustrating snowjewelz on "does your young toddler toss food when they're done?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-young-toddler-toss-food-when-theyre-done#post-2397960 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:27:38 +0000 snowjewelz 2397960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We windshield wipe here too! erinbaderin on "does your young toddler toss food when they're done?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-young-toddler-toss-food-when-theyre-done#post-2397953 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:23:16 +0000 erinbaderin 2397953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yeah, Bennett is almost two and he still does this, although not as much. For a while whenever he was finished he'd just frantically start waving his arms swiping everything to the ground before we could grab it. It was REALLY frustrating. Now when he's done he usually starts tipping over his juice/milk cup saying "Milk sleeping!"

Even now, at 2.5, she starts squeezing and mangling her food when she has finished.

I do as @winniebee said and say ohhh you are "ALL DONE" and calmly clean her up! winniebee on "does your young toddler toss food when they're done?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-young-toddler-toss-food-when-theyre-done#post-2397884 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 08:27:11 +0000 winniebee 2397884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup. Windshield wipes everything off. I just try not to react and say "oh, that means you're all done." and take him out of his high chair. sorrycharlie on "does your young toddler toss food when they're done?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-young-toddler-toss-food-when-theyre-done#post-2397883 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 08:26:23 +0000 sorrycharlie 2397883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I forgot how much I did not like this stage ha! My daughter is 11 months old - I'm trying to teach her how to sign "all done" but she doesn't really seem to care. She's started tossing the contents of her tray onto the floor when she's finished. She was just happily eating breakfast and I left the room for a minute, and came back to a giant mess of watermelon and cheerios..sigh. I do have a dog, but he's on a diet so he isn't supposed to eat her scraps all day!
