Journey of self-feeding

On and off when I'm feeling adventurous, I would let Andrew try to self-feed. Be it with a spoon or fork or even his fingers. I would like him to explore and train him to eventually feed himself. And I just want him to enjoy his meal time.

Little Andrew is an expert picking up his food with his fingers - even a grain of rice! He can also use the fork, though sometimes the angle is wrong. But the spoon is a long way to go, well, partly because I hardly let him try feeding himself with the spoon. He does get the rice into his mouth, but if I let him do it for the whole bowl of rice, he will probably get 10% into his mouth! But I do let him try it out on and off.
