After swimming, we met a friend of mine for lunch. The bean is so used to going out to eat, he behaves fairly well. He loved my lunch and kept insisting on having more and more of my food. If he keeps this up, I'll have to start ordering him his own food soon!!
We had leftovers for dinner, but after playing with his Cheerios, he got a pizza crust from each of us. This is a loved food of his. He had a good time.
Feeding himself is such a great developmental activity. When we first started giving him stuff, he struggled to even figure out how to get it in his mouth without having his fingers around it. Now he has mastered putting big things in his mouth and is getting so much better with little things like Cheerios. The other bonus is that we can eat without having to interrupt our meal to try to get mushed up something into his mouth. He entertains himself with his food while we eat. Clean up is probably the only downside and that isn't to bad. I keep saying we need a dog to make clean up easier. Jeff has very practically pointed out a dog will likely add more work than losing the clean up. I have to admit he's right.
