Now, I might be imagining things, but I'm thinking that DS (11.5 months) seems to eat better when I'm not sitting there staring at him eating. When I'm sitting there, he tends to get this look in his eye before deciding to drop his food on the ground. It's like he's testing me, and while I'm calm on the outside, no lie, I'm irritated on the inside. At least if I don't have to watch him, it gives me time to clean or do something else while he eats. Anyone else encounter this strangeness?
