Then I started spinning her food bowl on the hardwood floor, which she absolutely loves because it wobbles in addition to spinning azimuthally, making a hell of a noise. Now at 14 months she still sometimes likes me to spin her bowl for her, and she'll sometimes ask me to do it before she'll eat dinner.

The airplane trick is so funny because I'm doing that also just to make him interested in his food. I even say "i love you and please eat" in a very very sweet voice so that he'll know I want him to eat. Sometimes I even pretended to eat his food out of the bowl and said "yum" so he'll eat. haha! Are they really pick eaters?
