We have been talking quite a bit about Spencer's spoon lessons lately and today.......is no exception! Learning how to use a spoon is a huge adjustment for any little person to learn. In fact, it's amazing to think of how quickly children really do learn all the new things that they find themselves surounded with on a daily basis. Spencer is getting much better at accepting the spoon which could have something to do with the sneaky way Daddy has of getting him to open his mouth. The trick is to put his bottle up to his mouth and as soon as he opens up expecting to get the nipple, you slide the spoon in instead! When Daddy used to use this trick on Brian Mommy wasn't a big fan. It reminded her too much of something she learned in a college business law class called "bait and switch". Apparently it's true that things are totally different when you are the second child because Mommy is also getting pretty skilled at faking young Spencer out at mealtime! Fortunately, Spencer has a pretty good sense of humor about it all. I think he especially enjoys the big mess mealtime makes!
