We have that at lunch sometimes Kirsten. So after about an hour (in total, not after me finishing) she seems to slow down but still keeps going. But as soon as she slows down and stops showing as much interest in her food, I take it away.
I know that probably isn't "right" but she starts off so enthusiastically so when she stops showing interest, I take that as a cue she's getting bored or having enough. I still do the whole 'finished?' thing though and if she picks anything up as I'm about to take the tray away I let her finish but if she's playing with it and not actually eating it then I assume she's done. She only does the finished sign at dinner (is raising her arms more frequently now!), never does it at lunch?
