98/365: third utensil

Sam loves to be "snack helper" and set the table for dinner. As always he is filled with questions and commentary and tonight he asked why he didn't have a knife. I have had a child's knife for him tucked away and thought maybe tonight he could try it. Of course he started with fingers to stabilize his food and cut with the other. After one demonstration of using his fork to keep his fingers out of harm's way, he cut like a pro! The only problem was that after mincing and dicing everything on his plate...he left the table to play with Luke :) Thank goodness for learning to safely use the third utensil
