Tips for self feeding?

DS is 18 months and I have dropped the ball on self feeding with utensils I think. Up until 2 weeks ago I never let him try. Chat Icon for free of the mess!

Anyhow I'm trying not with a fork. We get the food on the food and give it to him put in his mouth. Any tips on helping him?

I occasionally put the boys' highchairs out on our deck and give them a bowl of yogurt or mashed potatoes and a spoon. Then I hose everything down (including them) after they are done. Chat Icon

LOL! I love that pic! I am also a little slow on the whole utensil thing. I haven't given them to DS yet...I think I just don't want to have to clean up yet another mess. I know, its selfish. OK, guess I will be getting some utensils for him to give it a go! Chat Icon
