Tallon can't/won't use a spoon. Isn't interested in it at all LOL. I wouldn't worry about that.. I'm sure they will learn it eventually

Tallon's taken to headbutting me, and smacking my face during feeds. I just take his hand away and don't really say anything. I've found this works best with him, coz he does it for the attention. Just like he keeps going up to powerpoints and switching off the telly etc, I soon learnt to stop jumping up and stopping him.. coz that made him do it more! Now I just ask him to come and read his book, or go and get his tractor or something. Doesn't ALWAYS work, but usually it does. He stands there with his hand poised on the switch waiting for my reaction, and usually if he doesn't get the reaction, he leaves it alone. I'm finding the same works with him hitting or headbutting, and even when he bangs his head on the lounge or floor, it's all about attention with him.

Talking - Tallon says hardly anything LOL. He babbles away in swahili or some such language! hehe. He has a few words, but we sign with him, so he can tell us what he wants that way.
