is it progress?

Lucas hasn't quite figured out the concept of feeding himself. He really likes to eat Cheerios and those little puffs, but won't put them in his mouth once they are in his hand. We were at church play group yesterday and Oliver who is younger than Lucas was feeding himself so I thought I'd try again. "Here Lucas", I said and put three Cheerios in my hand, "have a Cheerio". He opened his mouth like he was expecting Communion. I continued to coax him to try to pick one up. Instead Lucas bent his head down, put his face in my hand and licked it off. Hilarious. At least he is 'feeding himself'. I guess I'll call that progress.
