At least well-mannered in some ways.

Fingers vs. Fork
What 18 month old do you know that would rather eat with a fork than with his fingers? Well at our house, Carter usually doesn't eat unless he has a fork. (if he doesn't have a fork, his food goes straight to the floor) It took us a while to figure this out. I am not sure where he gets this from, because we use our fingers with everything except spaghetti. Carter uses his fork for everything including doughnuts. The other morning we decided to go to Daylight doughnuts for breakfast. We gave Carter a doughnut hole and bites of a sprinkled doughnut which he asked for. He sat there for a couple of minutes not taking a bite. He would touch the sprinkled doughnut, but it never made it to his mouth. Finally, Craig brought back a fork and right away Carter spotted it and motioned for it. As soon as Carter got the fork, he began taking bites of his doughnuts. Who would have known. We thought we had a weird kid who doesn't like doughnuts. Nope. We just have a weird kid who likes to be well-mannered.

I don't really think eating with your bare feet on the table qualifies for "well mannered!" The fork thing is hilarious though.
Carson is the same way. He uses a fork for everything and wants all of his food into "tiny pieces, please" Very cute!
Glad to hear that you found a way to get him to eat! He is getting so big. Loved the videos and pics of the land and "house". Exciting times for you guys!
