How to properly eat with a spoon: brought to you by Ellie Bellie Bear
1. First you pick up the spoon loaded with yummy tasty food. Try to navigate the spoon into your mouth. This is tricky so sometimes it is more efficient to remove food from the bowl of the spoon using your hand.
2. Repeat step one. At times, it is really helpful to hold the spoon just above the lip. This gives you more control when scooping the food.
3. Sometimes the spoon just does not want to cooperate. That is when you place your hands into the food bowl to pick up the food.
5. Now you do want to miss any morsels of food so it is appropriate and even recommended to shove your face into the bowl. Soy yogurt with applesauce and rice cereal is especially tasty so it is imperative to lick the bowl like so.
6. I should also mention that this food concoction does wonders for the skin and hair. Think of it as a spa treatment. Be sure to get food all over your hands and face for an added "glow". Then make sure to rub your hands through you hair to evenly distribute the food all over for added conditioning.
7. That my fellow Bearity Bears is how you enjoy a meal using a spoon.
The End.

ReplyDeleteMy own bear cub uses this exact technique. I agree that she is still so lovely.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha ladies! I love knowing that my Ellie isn't the only kiddo who thinks wearing most of her food is the correct way to eat :) I just want to hose her off after every meal. Is that bad?
ReplyDeleteOh those messes! Claire might never learn to eat with a spoon. I just can't handle messes like those all the time. :)
