Feed the World

Leo has mastered the art of feeding himself, whether he is using chopsticks for the first time (the trick is to use your spoon):


or refining his pasta-eating technique to encompass more spaghetti (use the fork only to fend off alarmed adults):


So now he is moving on to feeding the rest of the world. We already knew he liked to feed us. But he's discovered he's surrounded by hungry mouths. It began with feeding a bit of bread to a teddy bear, then a hungry fridge magnet (a gazelle head, visible in the photo behind my shoulder on the stove). Then the frogs on the soles of Leo's shoes were feeling left out. They were quite difficult to reach, so Leo developed two methods of delivering the goods: plopping down and lifting his feet to the food, or putting the food on the floor and waving his foot over it.

Don't worry, the rabbit got fed too. As did a caterpillar, a whale, his dog, the Bear in the Big Blue House book, his sippy cup (it has a nose, so it must have a mouth), and so on. All accompanied by "niam, niam, niam, niam" sound effects. We'll try to get it on video.
