Helping Himself

Since he had learned his climbing skill, nothing is unreachable for him now. Whenever he "smell" food on the dinning table, up the chair he goes...

We were having our after fruits today and as usual, he demand for his share. Knowing that I will make him to "pay" (I make him kiss, hug and call me before I accede to his request) for his share, he hurriedly kissed, hug and call "mum mee" before ONE grape was deposited into his mouth.

Think he finds this too troublesome and slow and so he decided to help himself instead! Before I could even react, he was already up and sitting there helping himself with the grapes. When he saw the whole plate of grapes, he shouted in excitment " gapes!!" and make the sound of eating "aum!"

O! And he eats like a squirrel, storing all the grapes in his pocket (mouth) and I have to ask him to finish what he had in his mouth before taking more. Think he is worried that we eats too fast and left nothing for him if he were to take his time...gagaga

The excited face when he saw the grapes

Helping himself to the grapes

Having fun "catching" the grape

Think its faster to use my hand..see the "pocket"?

I give up the spoon. Verdict: Hands is a lot faster!
