Well Tyler ate dinner pretty normally last night. So who can I convince to come over & distract him tonight? Actually, I think I figured out the real root of his problem when I watched him eat breakfast at school. They sit in toddler sized chairs at toddler sized tables. He is able to get up at his leisure. At home he sits in a booster seat at an adult sized table. He wants to be like Mama & Dada and sit in a real seat. So last night he ate at the table sitting in a big chair (no, he wouldn't let me stick the phone book under him) and we could only see him from mouth, up. But he ate, so I can't complain.

Silly boy is stuck in the viscious cycle of counting:
One
Two
Fee
Four
Ibe
Ix
Seben
Eight
Nine
Ten
Eleben
Twelve
Fee
Four
Fibe
Ix
Seben
Eight
Nine
Ten
Eleben
Twelve
Fee
Four

If we jump in and help him get from twelve to thirteen, he gets right back on track and goes all the way up to nineteen!
