We have a very strict "no toys at the table" rule, but lately the kids have been super into their stuffed animals. So after much begging and promises to eat their food, we decided to let them put the stuffed animals near the table (or on a chair), so they can look at their stuffed animals while they eat.

Yesterday our daughter insisted on being able to hold her favorite stuffed animal while she ate though, and we had to draw a firm line. It's a slippery slope, and I don't want to be surrounded by lots of stuffed animals distracting the kids from eating!

Does your LO ask to bring their stuffed animals/babies to the dinner table?
