Jalen Eats Spaghetti

Jalen has become a real challenge at meal time. He insists on feeding himself with a spoon. If you feed him some food, he may spit it back out. But then if you feed him the same food by letting him hold the spoon and bring it to his mouth, he'll eat it. The pediatrician says that we should let him start to learn how to use utensils but it's just so messy! He also likes to throw food on the floor on purpose. He'll look you in the eye then toss the food overboard from his high chair. We've had to tip a lot more when we go to restaurants.
