A post where I share a parenting thought. I had to clean 12 spoons for one bowl of oatmeal.
But it was totally worth it... Because ... he made it himself, from start to finish, including opening the glass jar we keep raisins in, and moving chairs and climbing up and down them to get things, spilling milk, making a mess, cleaning up after himself. it's a long hard road to independence, but there's a happy felix smile along the way sometimes. i don't know why we plan to need a spoon per bite, but so be it.
(of course sometimes he says things like "i want to tie my shoes myself" when there are a million people waiting for us to be ready, and we're already late and ... umm... he physically can't tie his shoes himself. oh well.)

He looks cuter and cuter in every picture! Good for him wanting to do things himself and good for you letting him!
