I have finally gotten to the point where I am committed to teach Markús to eat with a fork and spoon. So yesterday was the first day that he ate by himself.
In the beginning I had to help him get the food on the fork, but getting it into his mouth was no problem. Sometimes it was more of a problem not to get more on the fork on the way out of the mouth then there was on the way in. (he always stuffs his mouth like there is no tomorrow... Silly boy)
Around the middle of the meal he got the hang of it and got some pretty good fork fulls into his mouth all on his own. But, by the end of the meal, when there was getting less and less food to catch, and he still wasn't allowed to use his hands, he came up with a different method...
Ohh what a joy it is to clean up after him after every meal. But, I guess it's the only way they'll ever learn to eat properly.
If you have any good advise please feel free to share it!
And as an extra here is a video of him drinking from his own cup a couple of months ago. He still isn't a pro at it, but he is a pro at being cute and making his mommy laugh!
