eating utensils

daddy had a meeting after work thursday night so it was just the kids and i for dinner. we had sweet and sour chicken for dinner.



mason ate his entire dinner with a fork. and when he couldn't get the last bits of rice he would hand the fork to me so that i could feed him the last few bites. i don't think he ate any part of his dinner without the fork. and, as you saw, madelyn is getting pretty good with her chopsticks. although she did go get a fork for the last few bites.

mason often tries to eat with a fork but this was the first meal where he ate all of it with a fork. we give him a fork or spoon every night because he doesn't like for us to have anything at the dinner table that he doesn't. it was funny to see him try holding it with his right hand and then his left hand before switching back again. he throws with his right hand pretty consistently but everything else goes back and forth from left to right. we will have to wait and see what he finally settles on over time. love.

yummy! Impressive for both - the fork and the chopsticks! I can't even use chopsticks.

That's a good sign, that Mason likes a challenge.
Maddie is doing great with the chopsticks too.
