We're really keen to get Harrison eating a decent amount now that he's a bit more interested in food (even though it seems to go straight through him). So when he loses interest in dinner I now resort to virtual bribery - I get out a food magazine and he picks something he'd like to eat. Then I pretend to feed him one mouthful of the food in the magazine for each mouthful of his real dinner. It's quite hilarious having him muse over which of the pictured dips to have with his virtual breadstick, or whether to have the photo of the raspberry from the top of a cheesecake or a bit of the "cheesecake" itself.
We also have to keep track of which character we're all playing at any time of the day. If he calls me Murray I know he's Jeff - and he says "oh, sorry, I was Jeff" if I get it wrong. We play the whole gamut of Wiggles characters, plus B1 (Harrison) B2 (me) and Morgan (Dad), mummy daddy and baby cats and dogs, and so it goes on. I don't know how he remembers who we're all supposed to be.
