How Christian Eats His Cereal?

Christian wanted to eat cereal while sitting on Chris' lap. They tried it for awhile but it was not working to well. Christian kept getting cereal all over Chris. He was so upset that he couldn't eat cereal any more that I decided to put him in his high chair.

Christian's Way: The best way to eat is not bothering with the spoon, just dive in head first and you can get as much as you want.

Maybe he isn't quite ready for less guidance while eating.

More independence in a child's eating doesn't translate to less clean up for parents afterward.
