I like it when she feeds me. She has more time, than Mum, and so.. lets me do it myself! I did a really good job today, and had fun doing it!
I used to be good at doing this, but after my big hip surgery, we stopped doing it... and got out of the habit.
Aunty Carol thinks that's why I stopped letting her feed me, for a while.
We've been working on me feeding myself again, for a while, now.
I have to remember to hold on to the spoon... and not let go. That can be tricky, for me. Then, I have to lift my hand, and find my mouth. Sometimes, I forget to keep my head still, so that can be tricky, too! Then, I have to twist and turn the spoon, so the food goes in to my mouth... that bit is still a bit tricky!
I do like it, when Aunty Carol helps me put the food on my spoon... instead of her just doing it for me.
We made a lot of mess, but we were very proud of each other, and the mess was easy to clean up.
This feeding myself business is a bit tricky, but I love it.
I want to get really good at it.
