Cutting With a REAL Knife

I faced my fears and gave the toddler a butter knife. I will not forever be there to cut her fruit. If I don't teach her knife safety how will she learn. And she is always asking ;)

Attempt One: (No picture)
Was a big learning experience for Lydia. She buttered her bread. We learned that you don't hold a knife by the blade (thankfully she was using a very dull butter knife!). We learned that you don't lick the knife - thankfully that action she did not follow through on.

We then took a break for several days. (Because my sanity needed it!)

Attempt Two:
Cutting a banana and went so much better. See I even got a picture!
