Yes!! A battle won today! Anant was at the neighbors, watching cartoon on their huge-screened TV when I called him for dinner. It took minutes of cajoling and threatening before he finally came, reluctantly and on the condition that I'll turn on the same channel here.
I somehow managed to pretend that I can't find the remote control :D and thankfully, he was not able to spot it either, though it lying there, just hidden by the laptop that hubby had left on the sofa.
So I started feeding him, (yes, he still doen't eat by himself) talking of some silly thing and it was one big relief to see the food disappear from the plate in flat 15 minutes! It always takes something between 40-60 minutes when the TV is on. He simply keeps the food inside him cheek and completely forgets to chew, as he watches TV.
His eating was halting today again though, as, suddenly, he started feeling itchy all over his back. Kept scratching his back against his chair all the while as he ate! It was very annoying and another battle ensued. I had to goad him to move his mouth along with his back! In the end... food eaten quickly and without TV!! Thank God for that!
