Catherine is pretty good with spoon, still learning with fork, but she consistently asks for both, and also now wants a knife (phew we got a super-expensive set which comes with a knife). She still needs to be reminded to use them most days, and sometimes, it's just easier to shovel with your hands.. She's really good with yoghurt and can even scrape the bottom bits off. Yes, her cutlery skills and eating is far advanced compared to her classmates at daycare, but then she's advanced in a few areas, so it could just be maturity. OK, it's because she's had a year's practice at feeding herself..
