Vanessa, learning to use a spoon

This stage is probably my least favorite of the toddler-forming years.  The mess is what I don't like dealing with, so I've been lazy and fed her for so long.  By this time V and C were both self feeding but Vanessa is just average with a spoon.  I let her go to town on her oatmeal the other morning and she did decent.  I know this is just a stage, she'll get there.  Maybe by the time baby arrives she will be neatly feeding herself, completely potty trained, and obedient.  Just kidding!
