As our little guy’s mealtime journey continues, Vai now has started using his little plastic fork.

And obviously it all has not been that easy.

He concentrates. He figures out how to hold the fork. He coordinates his eyes, fingers and hand. He pokes and once it’s ’stuck’ on it, he then learns to put it into his mouth.

This (apparently) keeps him occupied for quite some time. Which is great for me too because while he learns and feeds himself, I get a bit of extra time to prepare everyone’s meals and feed him with ‘lesser’ fuss too.

Excellento!

PS: Lately, while waiting for me to get his food ready, I let him feed himself with stuff like steamed carrot pieces too. I put his food in a small plastic bowl, but after some time, everything usually ends up everywhere else BUT the bowl.

Oh well.

As much as I’d love to do lesser wiping and mopping, nobody says a baby’s self-feeding journey will be a ‘clean and neat’ one.
