What to do vs. What NOT to do!

Austin's been able to use a spoon for a while now.  He's really good if it is something thick like oatmeal but it can get a bit messy when you give him something like yogurt.  We still haven't tried cheerios with the milk actually IN the bowl. . . not yet. 


BUT. . .  that's NOT what this post is about.  It's about how Austin is getting better and better at using his fork.  Recently he's been using his fork since he's now more aware of what we have and what we are using (utensils) to eat.  Amazingly enough he'll actually eat chicken with his fork, but has never eaten more than one bite in the past so this is a real breakthrough!!!  However, last Thursday evening we had Breakfast for dinner (My personal fav) and Scott made pancakes.  Naturally Austin wanted a fork just like Momma & Dadda had so we gave him one.

He did great throughout the meal - even ate 3 1/2 'adult' sized pancakes!!!  But as the meal came to a close a I couldn't figure this out as we were watching him. . .Was he bored OR was he trying another method?! LOL
