Mei Xi's Enlightenment

There's a difference in having the ability and willingness to do something. For some time, Mei Xi has been able to finger feed herself crackers and grains of puffed wheat. However, she protested when given other finger food or a spoonful of cereal to feed herself. So it's to my surprise when she had a change of heart and started picking up cubes of bread that I had left on her table before 'disappearing' to prepare a bottle of milk for her. Now, she's also picking up blueberries, diced pear, cheese cubes... as well as spoon-feeding herself cubes of solid food. I guess it's more rewarding to spoonfeed herself cubes of food, as she had a higher success rate. Emboldened, she's now more willing to spoonfeed herself more liquid food too. Hee!
