Yup - you do not get your bowl full of food until you have mastered not tossing food onto the table here!

I put finger food directly on the tray for infants that age and if they start tossing it than 'meal time is done' .... they learn quickly that if they are indeed still HUNGRY they better not do that

Once they are not tossing food of the tray I offer the bowl and spoon - you get ONE chance and if you dump it or toss it - you are done ... again they learn REAL QUICK that if they are indeed still hungry you better not do that!
