Watermelon has been Y favorite for a long time. We have been letting her to spoon the watermelon herself since she was about a year old. If I gave her two spoons: small and big, she would love the bigger spoon more because she could scoop bigger chunks out with the bigger one.

Y would first scooped one piece and ate it, then went back for another. Soon she started working on a production line on the tray (that is why it’s important to make sure it’s clean at the first place), scooping out several big pieces, and then sitting back and enjoying each and ever piece of them.
