Fine Motor Skills > Gross Motor Skills

Some wise parent told us to be prepared for an onslaught of colds this winter. Eliza got a few last year, but we were entirely unprepared for this epidemic. She's nice enough to share some of them (sorry, grandparents). This latest one has her on some antibiotics that make for some rather, er, messy side effects. So we have instituted a diet based on the well-known BRAT method that we are calling the BRA diet: bananas, rice and applesauce. Eliza doesn't really seem to dig white toast at the moment. But that isn't the reason for this update. Beginning yesterday, we gave her a spoon to use with her applesauce/rice cereal/banana mixture and she picked it right up. We still have to work on the proper handling of the spoon, though.
