And here I thought that the only useful spork was from Taco Bell in their cheesy fiesta potatoes (I know, GROSS, but it is a guilty pleasure of both mine and donald). Turns out. Sporks are great for little ones while they’re learning to eat “like a grown-up.”
We think Abi may be a bit behind in this area – different places say different things. But, regardless, we would like for abi to be doing a bit better at eating on her own with colorful, plastic silverware. I will be honest – this is somewhat motivated by my dislike of having to clean the floor under abi’s chair after every meal.
So, this week I am REALLY trying to encourage abi to eat all of her food on her own. Also being honest – it is much faster for me to just feed her the yogurt, so it is a patience exercise for me too! So look out – we just might have a mini Emily Post on our hands soon!
Abi and Donald signing “It’s time to Eat!”
This morning at breakfast – she’s never had cereal AND milk – so here we go! I never really use bibs in the morning (gonna put her PJ’s in the hamper in next few minutes!) or at night (unless I really love the outfit – as it will also go in the hamper in the next few minutes!) or unless it’s something that can stain.
We’ll let you know how it goes!
