Mr. Independent

We are trying to teach Hayden to use a spoon or fork with his dinner. Normally he will let us load the spoon and he takes over from there. Half of the time he holds the spoon in one hand and uses the other to take the food out of the spoon and into his mouth.

Ravaoli was the specialty last night which is very messy. He decided that he wanted to do it by himself and did a pretty good job of actually eating off the fork. You would think this wouldn't be as messy but you are incorrect...


Hayden was very insistent on doing it himself - which is fine if we could take him outside and hose him off. As you can see, the ravaoli is ALL over his face and hands. He was even nice enough to rub it in his hair...not a nice look I must add.

His next course was strawberry yogart. Here again he wouldn't let us help him which got rather irritating at first because we are having to "hide" his allergy medicine in the yogart (it's in granules). After a slight wrestling match, he won (surprise, surprise). After a few minutes, he decided that he no longer needed his spoon and threw it on the floor. This was the result.



(He's even got manners - trying to share with me)

Here's my revenge on the mess...


As you can see the picture is sort of blurry. He was too busy rocking out to "the wheels on the bus" for me to get a good picture. The Mohawk worked for Angelina Jolie's son, why not mine?
