so my 2 year old son isn't the only one!Well from all the feedback of similar situations looks like its a popular phase.I always make him spit it out if he isnt going to eat it.
It probobly isnt good for his teeth and gums to be letting him hold it on one side for a long time.So I always give him two options he can either promptly finish eating it or I make him spit it out over a napkin.sooner or later he will get the point.

my little sister had the exact same problem when she was about 2 or 3. she would chew stuff and keep it in her cheeks for hours and hours and she wouldnt even spit it out it was like she enjoyed it . but anyways we couldnt figure out how to stop her from doing that and soon enough she just stopped by herself i think its a phase.

I have a 16 month old and this makes me laugh! Maybe try giving him a sip between bites? Squish it into his mouth through his cheek? Just take a picture and enjoy his antics!

my 3 year old did this for quite sometime...we just had to keep checking her cheeks and reminding her that big kids swallow their food. She grew out of it.

My son did it when he was 3.It is a phase.There is not much you can do.He is gonna get over it.The only think you can do is make sure he doesn't have anything in his mouth when he goes to bed.It is not a problem or any disorder.Nothing to worry.

Pinch and pat his cheeks every now and again. Worked on my kid brother. :-)
