Family dinner here too, at the table. It's just DD and I and it might be anytime between 4:30 and 8:30 depending on which sports season it is and if it's a game day or practice, etc. She eats just anything that I eat and has since she started eating table food at 9 months old (but that's a whole other conversation. Don't get me started about "kids food" versus "adult food"! LOL) No TV, no iPod, books, etc. We talk about the day and discuss our schedule for that night or the next day, etc. Milk for dinner - never soda, never juice. DD isn't fond of milk so she knows it is the only time she has to drink it.
Breakfast is a different story though - I work at home and start at 4:30 in the morning, so I usually have something to eat around 6:00. DD gets up at 7and makes something then eats in bed while she watches TV while I continue to work.
Lunch is a free for all if we happen to be home - whatever you want to eat, whereever you want to eat, and whenever you want to eat.
