Or even to look for anything to blame, because what I'm expecting is some mass perspective that this totally normal.
My ds was two earlier this year. I baby led weaned him, which to be honest was him rather than me as henever has needed any encouragement to get stuck into food enthusiastically. But as he's got older i'm getting fed up that he's not making the transition to cutlery. He can use a spoon or fork, but mostly won't. So he eats everything with his hands, smears it everywhere, disassembles sandwhiches, eats bread and butter by mashing the entire slice vertical into his face. Yoghurts eaten by hand from the pot. Strawberries nibbled then squished.
I look at his peers sitting daintily nibbling sandwhichs and using spoons to pick up single peas and then look sadly at my carpet and washing pile. I've tried ignoring it completely, I've tried putting himin his bed when he chucks stuff, I've tried making him help clean up, I tried makng it a game to use cutlery. Nothing works!
It's almost two years of food Armageddon 3 times a day. Thus does pass does it? Please?
