Thankful Thursday

Both boys have really started doing a few more things on their own these past few weeks, which has made my life a little bit easier.  Asher can very easily get his own shoes and hat on without needing any help - this is a big deal when you have a little boy who heads outside for something or another numerous times a day.  He has always needed some help when it came to boots or sneakers, but he's got this croc thing figured out.

And little Levi - my happy and hungry boy - has been doing so much better at finger feeding himself rather than always needing to be spoon fed.  He's been finger feeding for a while, but it's not yet been his primary way of getting all the food he wants to eat into his system.  We practice every single meal, but I would just say in the past week that there have actually been entire meals (breakfast mostly) that he has entirely fed himself.  We still do need to feed him purees with the spoon, but that fact that he has been getting better and eating more on his own has been a dream.


Sometimes it really is the small things that make the big difference.

Finger feeding rocks! It is amazing the big difference this makes in day-to-day life with little ones. Glad things are starting to get a little easier for you in these areas!
