Sooo...on the advice of several trusted mom friends...I debuted a new feature at our house this week - the Snack Tray!!! It has been well received so far. I choose the snacks each morning, but he can make requests for the next day. He can eat them anytime during the day without permission. He can exchange "cards" for perishables like fruit and cheese. Once the snacks are gone, he's done snacking for the day! (Can you tell I grew up in the Richard Simmons Deal-a-Meal era?)So far he hasn't emptied the tray during the day. He loves this, and I'm not pulling my hair out anymore!

love this idea - I will try to use for Ava. She only snacks, doesn't care for meals!
