So Eli is still eating with a fork at least once a day, but today was a less than successful demonstration of utensil control. Inbetween bites, when the fork was unloaded, Eli hit himself in the head with the end causing two small fork holes in his forehead. (You have to look really closely at the picture to the left. The spots are above his left eyebrow; click on the picture to enlarge.) I was instantly reminded of Steve Martin in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (Freddy was his character's name, I believe) sitting at the table with a cork at the end of his fork to prevent such injuries. Add this to the scratches under his mouth (no clue where they came from) and the blisters and scratches covering his right foot (products of crawling on concrete): this kid is a bruiser!!Nevertheless Eli put on quite a show of signing "more" repeatedly at dinner tonight. The motivation? Fresh porcini ravioli....the kid loves it enough to perform as his parents ask.

Poor little guy! Boo hasn't done that yet, but then again, he hasn't grasped the consept of not throwing his fork!
Holy cow!!! I am sure that scared you more than Eli. :(
Oh gosh- I love that movie! (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.) Is it possible for Eli to keep getting cuter!?!
AW! Fork holes and all, he is so cute!
ouch!
Boy, I remember the days when my youngest ate anything and everything. Where did they go? How do I get them back?
That's my favorite scene in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels! Hee hee! Poor baby! A good tale for when he's bigger tho'!
