Expert noodle slurper

It was a drizzly, grey day in Toronto so instead of going to the park and having brunch at the Beach like we have been doing the past few weekends, we went for a drive and ended up in Chinatown. We sat down for lunch at a Vietnamese noodle shop and this is where Dex acquired another sweet skill.

It was his first encounter of the egg noodle kind! He loved it but he struggled to push the uncooperative noodles into his mouth. He wanted to eat lots of it, but as he tried to shove them into his mouth, they would stick to his hands or his cheeks and/or slip off before he can close his mouth on them, a frustrating experience indeed.

I then showed him how to best eat noodles: stick one end in and slurp. I had to demo it a couple of times, but once he got the hang of it, the feeding went a little more smoothly. He loved it. You should have seen the look on his face when he first succeeded with this new technique. We'll have to try this with spaghetti next time. Ahhh, life is so exciting for a one and a half year old!
