Using Utensils? - Page 2

Parker uses a spoon fairly well although he also tends to flip it over halfway to his mouth and spill it down the front of him.

Ben does that exact same thing!! I thought it was just something weird he did! Glad he's not the only one!!

But basically he really stinks at using utensils! He is a total mess at mealtime!

Zach tries the spoon, but is better with a fork. He usually tries to use them and then gets mad and just picks the food up with his hand. haha

I just give it to him with his meal and i know he'll get it down eventually. I cant remember when my daughter finally figured it out.

Mac is all about spoons and forks. I've started having to cut up things like pizza and grilled cheese b/c now that he's mastered the untensils he won't eat without them. He still makes a nice mess with stuff like yogurt and oatmeal though.

Sam is pretty good with a spoon and with using an open cup (not a sippy). We haven't had him practice much with a fork yet, though.

Lily's ok with a fork, not so good with a spoon unless it's something that sticks to it, and great with her hands

I probably don't offer utensils as much as I should, I'm not a fan of messy lol.

Demari is some what good with his fork as for the spoon he usually flips it over before the food reaches his mouth and I only let him try with none messy foods. He has the gerber graduates fork and spoon set for toddlers.
