Spoon

Ren is covered in food.

He’s finally figured out how to hold a spoon, and splattered breakfast all over his face, floor and furniture.

He grins with determination as he attempts another precarious mouthful..

And gloriously misses his mouth.

Undeterred, he goes for another spoonful, getting a little more purchase each time.

And I swell with pride, as his tiny hands keep picking up his spoon without giving up.
