Do you eat french fries with a fork?

Ben does. Ever since we have started letting Ben eat with utensils, he absolutely will not eat with his fingers. You name it, he tries to eat it with a fork or spoon.

He eats french fries with a fork. He eats grapes with a spoon. He tries to stab potato chips with a fork.

He will not let anyone feed him anymore. You have to actually guide his spoon into the yogurt, then up to his mouth, but you can't just hold it and do it for him. His hand needs to be wrapped around the handle of the utensil.

He has also started the annoying thing of wanting to drink from everyone's glasses. I love him, but I do not want his backwash in my water. Yesterday he started wanting to hold the glass and drink it by himself. He threw a big tantrum when I didn't let him do it.

Ahh...independence.
