Hands skill - 19 month old

Zo Ee at 19months 2weeks old. (24/11/2009)

Self-feed herself soup
Little Zo Ee has been self-feeding herself soup since two weeks ago. She wasn't keen on drinking soup all this while not until a month ago. And after a few occasions fed by Mummy, little Zo Ee insisted to feed herself with a spoon. Although she may not scope a whole spoonful of soup each time (due to her holding angle), but she is doing very well without much spilling, getting herself half a spoonful each time and thus takes longer time to finish her soup. Nevertheless, little Zo Ee will be happily and patiently sitting there drinking her soup independently. As for her other meals, she has been self-feeding since 14 month old and was reluctant to be fed. She is still not very good with the fork and spoon with other food yet, but she tries to use them occasionally. Even if we tried to help her, little Zo Ee only allows us to put the food onto the spoon and leave it on the bowl. Little Zo Ee will then pick up the spoonful of food before directing them into her mouth accurately. Little Zo Ee is a pretty clean eater, not much mess from eating. If there is a mess, it's always little Zo Ee pure intention to pour food onto the table before messing up with her hands.

Holding a normal size pencil appropriately
Little Zo Ee loves to scribble with jumbo coloured pencils since 13 month old but she has not been holding them appropriately. Surprisingly, Mummy noticed that little Zo Ee was holding a normal size pencil appropriately (like an adult) while scribbling just now. Mummy wonders when did she actually been able to hold the pencil the correct way. Hmm... this Mummy really miss out!

Pouring water
Little Zo Ee has been able to pour water accurately over her rubber toys during bathing time for some time now. Usually, Little Zo Ee will be pouring water over her rubber duck and elephant with her little sand scope and will be telling Mummy, " Zo Ee bathing duck and elephant." And lately, little Zo Ee shows interest in bathing herself too. She has been using a big plastic cup, filling it with water before pouring the water onto her body. She seems excited being able to carry that act out. Wondering is all toddler loves doing things for themselves as my little Zo Ee just loves doing things for herself since a very tender age (since 12 month old). Another sign of in-dependency!
