Martha would NOT Approve!

At dinner, I decided to have another lesson on how to use a spoon with Lucy. Most of the time, she holds her spoon in one hand while using her other hand to shovel the food in. I thought I'd try a different approach tonight. When most of her applesauce was gone, I gave her a spoon and showed her again how to use it. She did surprisingly well and took several "bites" of applesauce with it. Now, when I saw say bites, it may be more appropriate to call them "specks." She was only getting the tiniest bits of applesauce on her spoon. After doing this for about 5 minutes, Lucy gave me a look of "what the heck?" picked up the applesauce container and put it to her mouth as she would a cup of milk. I couldn't help but laugh as her giraffe tongue stretched to reach the last morsels of applesauce. While she may not win points for etiquette, she certainly is innovative!
