Ready, Aim, Open!

Not knowing how much help would be needed for this meal, I came prepared with extra spoons, napkins and wet wipes.  Buckled into his seat belt, with tray snapped in place, I sat close, but not too close. There was no hesitation as he grabbed the spoon and aimed for the cherry sitting at the top. It was love at first bite for this tasty treat. Yes! Hands, fingers and both ends of the spoon were used to scrape every last drop from it's container, but it was worth it...especially for this Bubbie's viewing pleasure!
Best,
Bubbie and her Grand Babies!

When should babies learn to use eating utensils?

e-How.com showed me the way!  A little late, but next time Jude eats over, I won't need the carpet cleaner.  You see, if you scroll down to rule number two, you will read as I did, "Consider lining the floor beneath your baby's highchair with a garbage bag or plastic shower curtain liner to catch food your little one will inevitably drop or throw."  Now why didn't I think of that  before offering this newbie-fork-user, pasta with lots of tomato sauce?  Next time around, the curtain comes out and down, and I'll be lined with the garbage bag!
Ready and waiting,
Bubbie
P.S.  What tricks have you used to help your kids or grandkids use eating utensils?
