fork skills

B. and I both reached new milestones this morning. I made sweet potato pancakes (with this recipe) with just one hand--he was in the other arm. I can't cook anything these days without him saying, "up, up," since he wants to supervise everything and occasionally stir or splatter the ingredients all over the counter and kitchen floor. And B. speared all his own pancakes pieces with a fork--eating like a big kid until he finally got impatient and just jammed the pieces into his mouth with his hands.
