I've been struggling with knowing the mess Katie would make if she fed herself and her desire to have the spoon. I gave in today. Katie loved it! Yes it was messy & she may have used her fingers more than the spoon, but most of the yogurt was eaten. She put peas in the yogurt, then ate the yogurt covered peas. Creative!
How could I resist giving her the spoon when she is just so happy! Katie does need to learn how to feed herself, so why not start now? Of course, the mess (see below) was a consequence, but that's what the sink is for! Katie loved playing with the water while I washed her hands, face & hair. That's right, her hair. She decided that putting her yogurt covered hands in her hair was a good idea.
Successful/Messy lunch time...Katie will want to feed herself at every meal now, that may be a problem. (because I don't know if I can deal with the mess at every meal!)
