Our policy with DS (up to now) was that when he was "all done" with his dinner, he could leave the table. That was working fine until recently. Now he wants to bring toys to the table, or be on-off-on-off-on-off DH's lap, or getting into things he shouldn't be.
What is your policy for leaving the table at this age, and how do you make it stick or work?

If we do let him down early, he usually comes to the table, sits on a chair and says please so we give him more food. That usually keeps him happy and quiet. At friends houses we let him eat in one of our laps and then he does the up down thing between us. I don't mind since it's the least disruptive for everyone else.
We are so thankful that our second daughter, Lillian Elizabeth "Lily", was born healthy and happy on February 11, 2013. We love her to pieces.
We lost our first daughter, Hannah Grace on May 4, 2011. She was buried on May 14 during a beautiful service at my home church. We are grateful that if she could not be here with us, that she is healed and whole with the Lord. We look forward to the day when we will get to meet her. We love her so much.
But we don't own a dining table at the moment, so we eat on the couch in front of the TV daily.
