Are you a ninja too?

cold porridge...

[~Kim~]

Yes I am a ninja, because I am also usually pushing my other two to eat, making lunches and trying to scoff my own brekkie down all at the same time as dealing with the child that is never still.
For that reason I usually give up on anything that requires a spoon for either days I am not rushing (so never) or until they can master their own spoons.
I have a stock of frozen pikelets, grapes, cheerios (eaten dry or just damp is easiest for her), smoothies/yoghurt/fruit purees in reusable squeezie pouches in the the fridge.

I always thought people who spoonfed their kids must have been more coordinated than i, or their kids more controlled. Now i know they must just have the ninja gene.

I just used to sit the highchair on a big piece of polar fleece and wash the fleece at the end of the day.
Give your little one their own spoon to play with (or even one for each hand) so they are less inclined to grab yours.

And whatever you do they will find an antique sultana when crawling around and it will be much much yummier than the breakfast you were just trying to get them to eat!

Thick porridge is very hand friendly. I used to set DD1 up in the bathroom fo eat breakfast while I showered thwn when she was done she would get a rinse.
