Being Big...

...or should I say wanting to be big!

Anything that Corin does Declan wants to do too and this was evident tonight at dinner. We had corn on the cob and chicken, nothing extravagent, but it was the way Declan wanted to eat. I had cut Declan's corn off the cob, thinking it would be easier for him to eat, however when he say that Corin had it on the cob he threw a fit saying "I eat big!" He wanted his on the cob too!

Corin has been working on cutting his own food with a knife. Just a butter knife, so softer foods like pancakes. However Declan doesn't really understand this and when I went to cut his chicken he threw another fit saying "I chop chop!" Which is how he refers to knives and cutting. So I just gave him a piece of chicken for him to try. He does try cutting his own pancakes with his fork.

A little more difficult than pancakes. So he improvised and ate it like this because he still would not let me "chop chop" his chicken.
