We have begun using a little candle to signal the beginning and end of mealtimes, especially dinner. My girl helps light the candle at the beginning of the meal and when the candle is lit, she must stay in her chair at the table. At the end of the meal, she may blow the candle out and leave the table.
Plus, the candle holder has become a collecting place for all the innocent blooms picked by excited hands on our evening walks.

What a wonderful idea! We have been coming into some horrible dinnertimes ourselves. I truly think that Taylor has decided to give us a run-for-our-money until he turns four!
What a great idea! It seems like either she wants to play the entire time or not eat at all and wants down as soon as prayers are done.
great idea! I'm going to try this! There is a great disparity in our house between the time Leili thinks dinner is done and when we're actually done and the time in-between is not much fun.
