WFMW: Spaghetti

Pasta is one of our “go-to” foods for Simon—he will almost always eat it. But when he was learning to feed himself, I couldn’t get him to eat long noodles (spaghetti, linguini, etc.)—they were just so messy and discouraging. Then we went to visit Jamie, and this little tip I picked up from her changed everything: after you’ve cooked the noodles, use a kitchen scissors (or any scissors, really) to cut them into small pieces. I prefer to cut the noodles before I add the sauce; it’s just a little less messy that way. (Of course, a knife works too, but the scissors are just genius.) Works for me.

And because it’s so cute, here’s a video of Simon eating spaghetti (and falling asleep).
