[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 549051, member: 84"] IC, I've been searching for an Occupational Therapist (OT) type spoon for some time now and haven't come across one. I use deep plastic bowls with him because otherwise when he tries to scoop the food will fly out the other side of the bowl. Poor kid LOL And no, he doesn't do such a hot job of feeding himself with his hands, depending on the food........and picking only finger type non messy food is not the answer. I don't mind the mess as long as I can keep him trying to get that spoon full of food into his mouth. I have dogs eager to clean anything up off the floor (and they're fast lol ) and he has a huge nice bib that does pretty well protecting his clothes and the rest is washable. (even though he hates it) If there is going to be a mess I'd prefer it be because of using the spoon as opposed to the hands. Know what I mean?? As for the baby behavior with Brandon, as predicted the moment Connor was up, it started. He managed to hold it together pretty well until he went full blown outside and found himself sitting in time out until he was willing to act like a big boy. (about 10 mins, he's almost as stubborn as his Nana) Then I explained to him Connor is not a baby anymore either and we need him to help us teach Connor how to be a big boy like him and Darrin. Not sure how much sunk in, but he did better the rest of the evening. No potty accidents this week, and I'm very proud of him and told him so. :) Oh, wait, he did pull the baby thing when running around the yard. So I enlisted Darrin to teach him how to run fast like a big kid, instead of a girl (way he was flapping his arms around).......and it worked. Little buggar can run pretty quick when he tries. lol [/QUOTE]
