Lately, Orin has been practicing eating with a spoon.
Although I am not sure he has the manual dexterity to master
the skill-set yet, I am letting him practice for two reasons:
1) He will never learn if he doesn't, and
2) There are many foods that he absolutely refuses to eat
unless granted the privilege of operating his own spoon.
Yogurt, unfortunately, is one of these foods.
I would like to say that Orin is making progress in commanding
utensils, but he is not.
The main flaw in his approach is that he likes
to turn the spoon upside down before it reaches his mouth.
The result of this, as you may have guessed,
is that most of the contents of the spoon is deposited in his lap.
But, for all the skills he lacks,
he is extremely thorough... licking every part of the spoon
before deeming his meal over and throwing it on the floor.
Forks are up next.
This should be interesting.
