This morning Max used a fork to eat food for the first time ever. He was eating pancakes with blueberries and whipped cream for breakfast. (The mess was epic.) He was given a fork with his meal today as an experiment in early childhood development.
Max used his fork as follows. He picked up a piece of pancake in one hand, set it on top of the fork in his other hand, then immediately picked the piece of pancake off his fork with his hand and fed himself. The fork served as an intermediate rest stop between his table and mouth. The whole spectacle was greeted with thunderous applause from both mommy and daddy.
Sadly, we got no pictures of the event. Perhaps we'll catch it on film sometime in the future.
Nice. Now he's graduated to messing 50% more dishes per meal. Good work on that one. I'm sure if you just left him naked, food right on his tray (a spray hose at arms length for clean-up) everything would be so much easier.

Now you're speaking my language. Don't tempt me, Michael!
