Luke had a yummy lunch of ground beef, quinoa noodles and peas today. At this stage he pretty much feeds himself and will every now and again ask me to "Scrape it" when he needs me to use the spoon to scrape the sides of the bowl to get ALL food remnants out. Heaven forbid one piece of food is left on the bowl and doesn't make it to his mouth.
I was doing the never ending stream of dishes that never seem to end when he asked me to sit down with him. I sat down and he handed me his spoon and pointed to the ground beef. I asked him, "Do you want me to help?" He answered, "Yes." I was somewhat surprised because there was a lot of beef in the bowl and he shouldn't have had any issue with geting a spoonful. But I thought, well he knows what he wants and I proceeded to scoop up some ground beef and put it in his mouth. As soon as the empty spoon left his mouth he took a couple of soft chews and then he suddenly started spitting everything out, "PThhhhhtttawwwwaaa... Paaaa... pwwwwaaaa..." and then he started scraping the beef bits off his tongue with his Toy Story spoon. I said, "What's wrong?? What happened??!" He was still spitting out all of the beef bits as he answered/said, "I'll DO IT!" Once he spit out all of the ground beef he then used the spoon to scrape all the lightly chewed beef bits from his tray onto his spoon and then put the spoon, with the lightly chewed beef bits, in his mouth... To each their own, I guess :)
