The boys used forks at snack time.
Yes, forks my boys are showing signs of...uh..did I just say forks? I meant folks (sorry for getting so carried away but this is exiting!)
Earlier, they would be eager to use cutlery but just couldn't get the hang of it. They went as far as picking up the food with their forks only to use their other hand to pick it from the fork and place it in their months! Which resulted in lots of laughs and applauds, at least they tried, right?
Anyhoo, yesterday I casually gave Nael his fork while he was eating avocados and he picked it up and started using it! After a lot of cheering, praising and clapping I followed suit with Ryad and he did the same!
On an entirely different note., I'm still
Hi, there! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I appreciate your sweet comment. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your photos on this site. They're amazing! And I enjoyed the post about your kiddos using forks. Our girls will be 16 months old next week, which I think puts them six or so weeks behind yours. They've been feeding themselves for a couple of months now by hand. I've been hesitant to give them any utensils until they were "old enough", though. I don't want to frustrate them - or me! - by trying too early. I'll work up some courage and give it a go in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks again!

I completely agree. Trying to early will make them averse to the entire idea. Till a couple of weeks ago my boys thought utensils were some kind of weapon! I guess they just watch and learn and one day just take you by surprise!
