I need her to eat on her own

Tweet

Hi Everyone My youngest (1 1/2 years) is able to use a fork and spoon and for awhile was eating on her own. I think the novelty of learning how to do this has rubbed off however, as she is more interested in everyone else's plate even though we have teh exact same thing that she does. She doesn't want to be fed, which is good because she can do it herself but she wants to feed herself with everyone else's utensils, which wouldn't be too bad if we weren't already using them. I have no problem with her eating off of my plate, as she actually eats and doesn't try to play with the food and with me she'll use her own fork or spoon. Everyone else is getting a little irritated with sharing their plate and have started eating in the kitchen to get away from her (one advantage, anyway). This upsets my daughter to no end even though there is food available in her plate (yes, I still make a plate for her) and on my plate. Any ideas/thoughts/comments?
