I'm big on letting the kids do things for themselves, perhaps out of laziness but I'd like to think it's to foster their independence. Make a mess? Clean it up. Want a snack? Help yourself. Typically this works very well. I proudly told the waiter at the Fairmont yesterday that yes indeed my kids will use those knives so please don't take them away. Yes, it backfires on occasion and here is one of them. And yes, Sam did have to eat it all. Took all afternoon but he did it. Gross!
