Remind me when it gets less messy?

[AngelDog]

DS is 13 months and in the last month has taken to throwing the majority of food on the floor. Now he can throw it even further than before. I know it's totally normal (and it serves me right for being smug that he wasn't a 'thrower' before), but when might I expect to stop having to wipe the walls?

When I say majority - I mean some of everything (including stuff he eats) plus all of anything he doesn't fancy; cutlery too. And his cup, of course.

Anyone? :)

Not at 17 months

But I've had a bit of success with knowing the cues that DS is about to start throwing, and have tried to channel that into him saying 'all done' (or actually 'dup').

He flung an entire quesadilla on to DH the other night and it was a bit of a struggle not to laugh.

I've had to have stern words with DH about not sniggering when DS does it.

I'm confused by the way he often starts by throwing, then progresses to eating - not the reverse.

I feel your pain.

Marginally better now that DS is 2, ie he no longer intentionally chucks stuff everywhere, but somehow I still find cereal, milk and tomato sauce where it shouldn't be. And chocolately pawprints on my white sofa.
