The last month has seen a few milestones for the Hungry Twins. They have spent a seemingly inordinate amount of time sick (endless colds!), this has affected their appetites a little, but they still seem to have a huge enthusiasm for trying new things.
Learning how to use utensils is one of them. First it has been understanding that bowls contain food and are better if they are the right way up (and more food gets put in them that way!). The second has been that forks can actually be useful, sometimes…..
The food sometimes even gets on the fork!
The Hungry Twins still tend to hold the fork in one hand, while eating with the other, but progress is being made!
Food on fork, food in hand….
Spoons are another fun item – yoghurt brings out the best in the Hungry Twins, with spoons in both hands and yoghurt everywhere.
- Yoghurt tastes better with two spoons!
Drinking from a cup is another skill the girls are developing. We made a decision early that sippy cups were banned from this house. This means that we have to be on hand to help the Hungry Twins have a drink and deal with any spills but they are mastering this key skill! When the girls manage to have a drink on their own without spilling it all, they are pretty impressed with themselves (and we are with them).
Look what I can do!
