Starting to Come Around on This Utensil Thing

So each of the boys is starting to want to use utensils to feed themselves. Right now they can kind of use forks. Spoons are still a bit advanced. The need to keep them upright to keep the food on them is still beyond their skill level. (Although Duncan loves it when we let them try)

They both also have no interest in tiny plastic baby forks either. They'll throw them to the floor and demand the real thing like they see Mom and Dad using. Once they proved they won't stab their own eyes out we started letting them use them. Its fun to see how they go after the food differently. Matt stabs his plate randomly until food attaches itself. Ben, for all his bruiser tendencies, could not be more delicate while going after each tiny piece. Its also probably the most excited I'll every see any kid to eat a vegetable.

BTW if you're seeing this on facebook you apparently have to click "Original Post" to actually see the videos.
