"I would like to acknowledge my parent's interest/preoccupation/excitement with my independent feeding and drinking. I know I am capable of these and many other basic tasks but still many times prefer being served. I liken myself to a Star or more specifically the Sun AKA Center of all things. So I feel it's necessary to take my role seriously (note the very businessy Tie Bib!)" -from the Bumbo Thrown of Mr. Capable John, vigorous pointer and grunter
As the parent of a child with a full and confident personality I am pleased that he has chosen to work with utensils during feeding time, which is never really taken seriously or with a compromising attitude. We pick the spoon over the spork (spoon and fork combo), the spork over the fork and mommy feeding us directly over all others. No joke his favorite "palate cleanser" is to be hand fed grapes. I arrive to John's table ready to please and entertain all the while trying to covertly insert nutrition and motor skills.
