We eat at the table, sometimes with the TV on, sometimes not. It depends on when dinner is and if one of 'our' shows are on since we don't have a DVR. Our dinner times are wonky because of Tae Kwon do.
There are never cell phones or mp3 players allowed at the table. Books are allowed at lunchtime if I'm not doing a read aloud.
I don't make other meals, but will make a cheese taco for the little guy if I know what we're having is something he hates. Otherwise, he eats a few bites, period. We don't ever require finishing a plate. No milk served with supper meals, else little guy fills up on milk and refuses to eat. Dessert is allowed if we see you made a valiant effort at dinner.
