About a month ago Lily began eating with a spoon and fork and she took to it like a fish to water. Now, Lily thinks she must eat EVERYTHING with a spoon or fork. The other day I put some cut up grapes on Lily's highchair tray and she didn't touch them. Strange...Lily loves grapes. Stranger still was the look she was giving me...it seemed to say, "Mommy, aren't you forgetting something?". Sure enough I put the grapes in a bowl and handed Lily a spoon and she gobbled them right down.
Finally, a fork and spoon....
This morning I gave Lily cereal for the first time for breakfast. She's eaten dry cereal for months I have just never given it to her in a bowl with milk. Well, you would've thought I gave her the keys to the kingdom. She was spooning that stuff in hand over fist and she kept saying, "Wow Wee!" over and over again like it was the most exciting thing that has ever happened to her! She's fed herself yogurt, oatmeal, eggs, etc. and none of them matched the excitement of some plain organic whole grain O's in a bowl with a little milk. Imagine how she would have reacted if there were Fruit Loops or Cocoa Puffs in that bowl!
...I was beginning to think these people were completely uncivilized!
