One of the great things about when kids start eating more independently, besides the whole pride thing, is that parents can enjoy their dinner while the little one takes charge of his or her own eating. The kids seem to love it, too. Win-win.
Periodic intervention and guidance continues to be necessary, because as with anything, independent eating is a work in progress. I think that babies and toddlers learn tips from the same manual, though.

When H is full, he grabs his leftover food and either offers it to me or transfers it piece by piece onto the table (or the floor). And I'm totally agreeing on panel 3 about not chewing or swallowing.
