Hand Over the Spoon!!




Look at this face!! 

We have been struggling to find a stride with eating. It usually ends with Silas screaming and me frustrated. His iron was low so we've been keeping a closer eye on what he eats and making a bigger push toward table foods. 

I have tried the "bait-and-switch", pushing the spoon in and hoping for the best, but today I let go of the spoon. I put the bowl on his tray and the entire eating experience was different. 
He was excited, anxious, and eager to figure it out. 
It was messy (which is why I held the spoon for so long.) 
But the joy he had about checking out his food was worth the mess!
