William is learning how to feed himself. It is a fight. He really wants his independence and I really want him to get just one bite of food in his mouth. I'm not even stressed about the food that ends up on the floor. I just want some of it to end up in his belly too! Shredded Spoonfuls, however, seemed to be a hit.

| ahhh . . . forget it. this is way easier. |
I'm battling this same thing right now, trying to let go of the control I would like to have. Each stage is such a joy, but hard for the parent to transition, I think.
ReplyDeleteTry a deeper spoon. Its slightly easier for them to get stuff into their mouth that way. My oldest daughter wanted to feed herself at a ridiculously young age, but she eventually mastered it and so will William!
ReplyDeleteI love little children feeding themselves! Too sweet!
ReplyDeleteYour son is so adorable Lizzy. That huge eyes...
