Sweet Child of Mine

My child has been a bit of a food challenge lately. All he wants to do is feed himself. He refuses all food that he cannot pickup and eat. We are still working on teaching him how to use a spoon. For the most part all he does when handed a spoon is fling food all over me. What happens is he may eat a few bites I feed him, then scream bloody murder at me until I give in and let him try. This usually results in me being covered in food, or him throwing the spoon and food on the floor. (good times) I know that parenting means patience. But really, Im tired of every meal and snack getting yelled at. As soon as he gets what he wants he stops. Itll pass...just as soon as those pesky baby hands figure out how to use the spoon. Until then....Im going to take a few lovely pictures that remind me to laugh at the situation.
