I Want To Eat Myself

Of course I did not mean that Ace wanted to eat Ace! Hahaha...

What I mean is that nowadays, Ace is getting more and more independent.

When we go out for meals, instead of waiting for us to feed him, he will tell us, "Wo yao zi ji wei..." meaning that he wants to feed himself.

And because when we are outside, we usually do not use scissors to cut his noodles for him, we found out that he is quite good with chopsticks and that there is no longer a need to make his food into smaller pieces for him as he can handle them well.

When he got a little more confident, he started to request to feed himself when he is at home as well.

But that only happens when he is drinking soup or eating noodles, bee hoon or hor fun... and the pre requisite is that he must have a pair of chopsticks (he finds it easier to use chopsticks than to use forks to eat these now).

Come to his usual daily fare of porridge and rice, however, he will still say that he wants to feed himsef but will end up using the spoon to stir and play with the food.

In cheeky moments, he will use the spoon to pick up whatever sauce he can see in his porridge and then drink it and tell me, "I drink soup.. yum!"
