Tonight, while I was trying to help Lila straighten her room I turned to see Ian sitting in the hallway feeding himself his meds/supplements in applesauce! It was of course all over his jammies but I was so excited that he had dug in with his spoon! It's our routine to do breathing treatments after which he meets me in the hallway in front of his door and I give him his applesauce. We have been working on self-feeding for a while now. He's really great with the fork and spoon but he will just bring the utensil to where the food is and waits for someone to help him push into it. And if you turn your head for a moment, he'll just grab the whole thing with his free hand and shove it in his mouth as quick as possible ;-) But tonight he did the whole thing by himself. And with a regular non-kiddie silver spoon! So exciting!
Mike is out of town again. It's been a very tough year of lots of travel and a ton going on with the kids while he's gone. So by the end of the evening, I've sometimes lost my cool. Like tonight. But the beautiful scooping boy definitely helped change my frame of mind!
