I frequently have to say "it's not eating if you don't swallow" and "real bites please"
M likes to pretend to eat. The other day we had a covered dish at church and a comittee meeting right after and so for two hours M sat at a table (not my table, he insisted on sitting with a friend but I sat where I could see him) he pretended to eat and chew the entire two hours, people kept telling me what a good eater he was. I looked at his plate (which I had prepared for him) he had eaten exactly three tiny bites. He likes to touch things to his lip and then put them down. He will touch his lip with the same bite over and over and over before he actually puts any of it in his mouth and then he shoves it in his cheek and then pretends to chew and swallow with exagerated chewing and swallowing motions. He did fool most of the church, but not me! I see it every day.
