Breakfast Time

A few weeks back, Elsie protested at breakfast. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, had she suddenly lost a taste for the oatmeal that she and I enjoy every morning? No, she just wanted her own spoon!

Ever since then, I make sure she has a spoon or fork of her own at meal times. She still accepts food from a more dexterous helper, but she loves to practice scooping and stabbing and ferrying her food.

All that practice brought us here! This morning, for the first time (that I have observed), Elsie fed herself. Not just a bite or two, but a whole lot!

Now I just have to figure out how to layer a song over the video so that you can listen to that instead of the stony silence of our observation!
