After talking with some wives last week about our 2 years old toddler boy, I got to thinking that maybe I need to work a little more with Xavier on self feeding.
Xavier has been interested in self feeding for quite sometime since he was about 15 months old. He would be happy to scoop up handful of porridge or cereal out of the bowl and shove them into his mouth if I let him. His coordination just isn't there yet. Most of the time, if the spoon even makes it to her mouth, it's upside down or sideways
Lately, his motor skills / development improved drastically... the mess created is not compared previously so now I will let him sit on his chair and had dinner together with us.
He seems to enjoy a lot!
Our little conversation during dinner:
Me: time for dinner
X: NO!! Mama feed Xavier
Me: u big boy, u have to start feeding yourself
X: NO! NO!
Me: ok u can have ur dinner later then
X: I want to eat! and start feeding himself
Me: overjoyed and hurrahing and praising him
X: mummy no shouting and put his little finger on his mouth and said "shss shss"
Me: faint
My little boy has grown up!
