Soup and chopsticks

I meant to post this months ago, but got busy and forgot.

One day we all went to a Chinese buffet. Jerrod and I always eat with chopsticks when eating Chinese. Well, this time Julia decided that if we were going to eat with chopsticks, she was too!! I am amazed at just how good she is with them. She can get a good amount of food into her using them!

During this same trip to the Chinese buffet, I had gotten some soup, but only eat about half of it. Julia said she wanted some. I did not think she could eat soup yet. When we have soup at home, I drain most of the broth off for her. I figured she would be wearing most of it, but the only way to learn is by doing, so I let her have at it. I was completely shocked to see that she did wonderfully with the soup. Hardly spilled any of it. I should never have doubted her abilities. She constantly amazes me. She even knew that she had to lean over the bowl to help prevent spilling it.

So now she has been eating with chopsticks and eat soup for months. She is an old pro at it.
