I let Eva have her own spoon with every meal. She is getting pretty good at using a spoon, but it is obviously pretty messy. What normally happens during a typical meal is that I feed her a little with my spoon. She feeds herself with her spoon. She gets frustrated that, because the spoon is upside down when it enters her mouth, she is not getting enough food, so she sticks her fingers in the bowl. Then she gets tired or bored and rubs it all over her face. Then I somehow extract her from this mess, and wash her hands, face and body. I’ve taken to having her eat naked because I just cannot have her wear three different pairs of clothes a day.
