The power of champagne grapes cannot be underestimated… Sophie, who has difficulty self-feeding, ate a whole cup of it with a spoon and minimal spillage. I was so amazed. It started when I gave her a cup of champagne grapes to show Ah Gong and Ah Mah how she could eat with her forefinger and thumb. Sophie had other ideas in mind… as usual. She took her toy spoon and started scooping grapes into her mouth. Apparently, she CAN feed herself but she is so fussy with food that she will only feed herself food she likes.
Excited about her new found skill, I let her do it again during dinner. She was so eager to eat the grapes that she did not mind my camera in her face. Sophie also figured that if she held the cup closer to her mouth, she could minimise the chance of dropping her precious grapes and they would reach her mouth a lot quicker.
I wanted to test out if she could self-feed when I changed the food to yogurt. I was right. It was much harder for her to focus on feeding herself because she does not really care much for it. I think Sophie is too pampered when food is concerned. I should let her be hungry enough so that she has motivation to eat her food. Papa was very tickled when I showed him these video clips.
Haaa....see ...you have to let her try then you will know ...they always pick up skills that we don't even know ...Good job! Sophie....Keep it up!
ReplyDeletewhat about putting a few grapes in her yoghurt ? :) And your spoon is a little too big for the small yoghurt cup leh.. :)
