I forgot to mention in my last post that I am actively trying to teach Hailey to eat with a spoon. Up until this point in her toddlerhood I have mostly given her finger foods - meat, cheese, veggies etc ... Usually there was no need for a spoon and when I did give her yogurt or something where a spoon was needed it was usually in the morning when I am in a hurry to get us dressed, fed and out the door so I would just feed her.
Then, I came to the realization this weekend that I don't want my 5 year old someday using her fingers to eat and depending on me to feed her with a spoon :-)
So Sunday I gave her yogurt in a bowl, handed her the spoon and let her make a mess. After helping her for a few tries she understood the concept and fed herself. Defintely needs work, but she gets the idea. She did feel the need to have one hand in the bowl while eating with the other, but I figure whatever works go with it (ha, ha). At least there is a hope of having a five year old someday who can eat with a spoon!
Mom, what is this toy walking toward me with
a blinking nose?

Cute....I love to see you letting her experience things and go with the flow. It won't be forever for you cleaning up the messes. Before too long you'll be wishing these years back. I also love the rudolph one. What a doll. Love Meme
Just checking in! Gorgeous photos of the tree. Sounds like Hailey is doing wonderfully. Congrats on being released from EI (our district here doesnt release anyone til minimum of 2 yrs. Strange how different everywhere is). Anyway fantastic news. Keep up the good work!
