We haven't given the girls many opportunities to spoon feed themselves. They finger feed themselves at every meal, and we try to give them spoons to hold during meals. We usually help them when they are eating foods that they can't pick up with their fingers, and we NEVER give them the bowl or plate. Tonight, we decided to give them bowls of applesauce with spoons and let them "practice." They both did really well with using the spoons, but they eventually realized that it was faster to use their hands and eat directly out of the bowl! They went directly into the bathtub when they were finished with their applesauce!
