A while back, I got Cyprus some finger foods to keep him occupied while I made meals. He then promptly went through a phase where he was not willing to eat anything that he had to chew!

I tried again with the finger foods the other day, and he took to it! I now pour out some on the table for him and he hastily shovels it into his mouth. At least it buys me a couple of minutes to get some more food ready to feed my bottomless pit of a boy.
