About 2 weeks ago, Enda Jie Jie and Mama gave Geraldine a spoon to try and put some food into her mouth. She enjoyed it so much and was so proud of herself. Every night, when Papa and Mama sit at the dining table for dinner, she'll come over, crawling on Mama, trying to grab whatever chopsticks, scissors, spoon, etc...anything available to practise. Mama saw the opportunity to let her practise this self-feeding skill and test her out to see how clean she is...it was fun to see how focussed she was, trying to scoop one mouth by one mouth, picking up all the rice dropped on the little table in front of her. Most amazing of all was that she sat in the highchair, for the entire duration of the session!!!
Clever girl...Papa and Mama are so proud of your independence, at barely over 17 months!
What's the best part? It was when Enda Jie Jie was telling Joel Gor Gor : See, Mei Mei is eating all by herself, though she's a baby. How about you? 4 years old already, still asking for adults to feed and chase him all around the house at meal times...sigh!!!
