chopsticks

Bennett and I were on our own tonight.  Daddy went out to a hockey game for a much needed break.  I was craving Chinese so Bennett and I picked some up on our way home.  Bennett enjoyed his lo-mein and rice but watched me intently as I ate my Chinese with chopsticks.  Finally he pointed at them and said something in Minion (that's what we call his language) that I translated as: "I want to try using chopsticks."

He knew exactly what to do without my instructions.  

And, I was surprised that he managed to actually pick up and eat some cabbage and noodles.

Next we will have to work on teaching him how to use chopsticks with one hand.
