Messy

Today I understood why Sam was on food strike: He wants to eat by himself. No more of the spoon feeding. I was able to guide his hand holding the spoon to his mouth twice. Then he needed to take over all of it. I gave him a spoon and a bowl with a little bit of his food in it. He didn't really succeed yet with the eating, instead he smeared it all over the table, chair and himself. (I think the picture doesn't do justice to the mess) He enjoyed it so much that I could feed him some extra spoons. He ate his complete meal and I was happy to clean up the mess.
