We've slowly been working on dinner etiquette with Carter. And while there is LOTS to be learned (not throwing food is a fundamental, yet still elusive feat), he is picking up some skills.
Carter loves to do things by himself, and cutting his own food is a real treat. We're still working on holding the food still with the fork while he cuts with the knife (he tends to move both or cut with both), but he gets the concept (we didn't quite get a picture, though).
And he is really getting good at drinking from an open cup. He spills sometimes when he's holding the cup and gets a little too animated with a point he's trying to make, but that happens to me too. The biggest problem with the open cup is that he sometimes confuses cup-of-milk with dip-for-my-food. But we're working on it.

Ahhh, there's my little man! The best kind of etiquette is enthusiasm for the efforts of the cook. And with his love for food, he's got that down pat! Love.Mama H
