Last week we discovered Matilda does really well eating with a fork. We have been handing her a loaded fork and she'll jam it right in, usually on target. The amazing part is she will then usually hand the empty utensil back for a refill. A spoon is harder and she'll often dump the contents before they make her mouth. Yesterday for an experiment I let her try to feed herself yogurt, partially to see if she would get interested in actually eating yogurt (a normally shunned food) and partially to let her practice scooping food with the spoon. It all started out well, but quickly deteriorated into a finger painting session on the kitchen floor.
