Graduating to Table Manners 102

Luke is in relatively good command of using his hands for sandwiches and snacks, and fruit and diced-up foods with the fork. But using the SPOON on slurpy substances...we kinda kept our distance from this area in fear of Armaggedon-ish damages to our rented apartment - until this morning. Matt, in all serendipity, left a bowl of cereal ALONE with Luke, while busying himself with preparing breakfast in the kitchen. I was washing up in the bathroom. By the time we got to the table, Luke has already consumed half of his breakfast - with a SPOON!! Matt and I almost had tears in our eyes - feeding days may come to an end in a visible future!!
