i finally have allowed mill to to start feeding himself with his own utensils...i think i put it off so long because let's face it, who wants more mess to clean up?? but i must face the facts...he is 18 months old!!! unless i plan to feed him until he is like FIVE (uh, which i DO NOT plan to do...like some other cultures, right anne?????)--i had better get on the stick. i found these handy little spoons at BRU:
he put up quite a fight and sat through half of dinner crying the first time i made him do the spooning himself. glad i didn't wait any longer, huh!?! he works these little spoons pretty well...that is until he realizes he could just use his hands instead! i was glad to happen upon these as he seems to like these a little better and definitely maneuvers them better than a regular toddler spoon. i wasn't at BRU to get specialty spoons though, i actually had to go there to buy this:
yes--turns out miller is one of those babes that turns into a beaver while teething...bless his little heart! this seems to have solved the wood chewing, paint eating problem though, thank goodness. i am off to the AWANA grand prix to watch my oldest baby race his souped up cobra striped car! go #70!! photos to come--i hope!!
**just realized you could see him eating with his fancy-schmancy spoon in his photo and i didn't really need the big pic of the green spoon...but, oh well...**

ooooo! that spoon looks COOL! i'll definitely be on the lookout for one of those!
you know? so far, i've only had one BEAVER, but she did enough damage that our crib will most certainly be passed down to HER! ha!!
that is TOO funny, lori! hadn't thought about that...mill's is one of those mini crib's (so it would fit in the boys' 'mini' room!!) so i wasn't planning to keep it and pass it on to ANYONE!! will probably make it hard for resale though...*sigh*
miller has been my only gnawing child as well :)
