Ella

Last night when I gave Ella her dinner I decided to give her a spoon, the last time I did this I wound up with a giant mess so I have been a little hesitant to do it again. She just grinned at me when I handed her the spoon. I figured there was a good possibility that I was going to have another mess on my hands by the time she was finished eating, but I decided I would just let her daddy take care of the mess. I'm thoughtful aren't I? At first she thought it was fun to stick the spoon into the bowl and attempt to actually get her macaroni and cheese onto the spoon and into her mouth. She quickly gave up on eating with the spoon and decided to hold the spoon in one hand and shovel the food into her mouth with the other hand. It's not that she couldn't eat with the spoon, it's that it was taking too long for her to get the food onto the spoon and into her mouth and like most 15 month olds, she does not have a lot of patience for such things. But it was so cute to watch her try and eat with the spoon, and she was so proud of herself. She also figured out it's fun to put the bowl (with mac and cheese still in it) on her head. Im SOOO glad it was daddy's turn to clean her up!!
