Eating with a spoon

I thought maybe I would start giving Safiya a spoon.  And I thought maybe mashed potatoes would be a good place to start.  And I thought I would put them in a bowl.  And then I thought, damn that was stupid.  Bowl on the floor, spoon in her lap, gritty mashed potatoes in her very very curly hair.  And a baby in the bath.
