holding food (pt. 2)...

Our little stinker still likes to hold food that he doesn't like in his mouth.  When he starts doing this, he's pretty much done eating, even if it's only been a few bites.  No amount of persuasiveness, we've been finding, will get him to swallow his food... UNTIL I discovered today that after holding a bite from his lunch in his mouth for about a hour, he downed it in about 2 seconds when it was naptime, and I said he couldn't have his paci for his nap if he didn't swallow.  Aha!  If I need to, I may have to see how I can work that to "encourage" him to eat his food in the future.  Could this be his kryptonite?  ;)
