Since the twins first started eating finger foods I've tried to follow the advice given by Ruth Yaron in the book "Super Baby Food." She writes, "Eating is an Important Learning Process - Self-feeding is important to your baby's physical development, eye-hand coordination, and manual dexterity. It is also important to her intellectual development. Allowing your baby to freely self-feed shows her that you have confidence in her abilities, which increases her self-confidence, independence, and self-esteem. Your tolerance, patience, and acceptance teaches her that the world is not a restrictive, formidable place and that she is free to be creative."
And with that I give you "Saturday Night Pizza Party" with Gage & Gavin. No restrictions and lots of creativity...I just wish Ruth was around to help me clean the floors!
