If only I had known ...

We had been struggling to get Josie to eat much of anything but fruit.  I really hated meal time with her.  About a week ago I offered her a spoon in hopes she would at least attempt to use it.  It turns out she will eat whatever we give her if she gets a spoon or fork and a plate.  Suddenly my little vegetarian was eating meat!  I would have given her a utensil long ago if I had known she wanted one.  Her eating still isn't perfect, but it is much, much better.
