Eating.....or not so much

Over the last 2 weeks or so, meal time has become one of our least favorite times. We have never had a problem with Logan chowing down until now. About a month ago I realized he wanted to feed himself. That is how they do it at school and I don't know why it took me so long to realize that. Hence the following:
He now throws a tantrum when it's time for lunch or dinner...at home anyway. I don't know why he's doing this. I just know it's his age. He will be happy and content as can be until I sit down in front of him and try to feed him. He either flails himself around like a fish out of water and refuses to eat OR he will take a bite then spit it right back out...no matter what it is. Not so much spit and kind of let it just fall. It's annoying as all get out and it makes us so mad! But, I know he is becoming more and more independent and we have no choice but to suck it up and face it. Anyway, I realize now that he is in another irritating yet normal phase. He just turned one and is now wanting to become a big boy and do things for himself. It saddens and excites me at the same time.

When he got his first haircut on November 15th I realize just how grown up and how much older he is looking. He is still the apple of our eyes and is so much fun....when he's not pitching his fits.
I love too that he has finally learned to clap. I have been trying and trying for months to teach him that. Now, all we have to say is Yeah Logey and he claps and claps and then claps some more. I think we have school to partly give credit to. I love his school!
That's just a little randomness for now! I love this little guy and love being a mommy!!
