Aiden has decided that he would rather feed himself. He's not sure how to hold the spoon exactly right yet. It doesn't stop him from trying. I've been giving him fruit cocktail or cut up mandarin oranges for him to feed himself. The other day he was happily putting lots of oranges in his mouth and figured that he would see what the bowl looked like upside-down. Needless to say, we now have a big cloth to put under him when he eats! Of course, Jake (the dog) loves to help clean up all the dropped goodies. Today, Aiden wanted to participate in his dinner in a new way. I had a pot of pasta and a pot of ground beef going on the stove. I turned around to work on putting some cookies on a sheet. When I turned back, Aiden had turned all the burners on the stove off. He thought the knobs were loads of fun to play with. After several "no"s and moving him to another room, I gave up and put him in his crib for the rest of the preparations. He wasn't happy about that, but at least he didn't get hurt from anything overflowing on the stove.
P.S. Dinner was pretty good, by the way!
