He is generally a good eater and StarBase is the perfect backdrop for him to dabble in different foods that our guests bring. There he is below sampling the different dips with his Greek pita.
We try to make sure he tastes everything at the table before he makes a decision on whether he wants to eat it or not. The rule is, he can't say no unless he has tried it. I felt like I had a small win the other day when he did not want to have my smashed cucumber salad. With a little bit of persuading, he was finally willing to take a bite. Boy was he glad he did. He ended up finishing a lot more and is now a smashed cucumber aficionado.
We also have him help (where he can) with the food preparation. He seemed to have taken quite the liking to shucking corn with his little pals. It is great watching him feel accomplished when he can finish little chores.
Lastly, we want him wait for everyone to be at the table before he starts eating. But obviously with the last picture, he snuck in there for some kalbi and just couldn't wait.
