Almost two and learning new things

In Japan children use a spoon when they start eating solid foods, just like elsewhere, then move to mastering a fork, but they also start practicing with chopsticks from an early age. Recently I got Riku some training chopsticks, and this weekend he did really well with using them to eat a rice dish :)

And yes, while he still uses his left hand quite often, it does look like he's right-handed! With his genetics (left-handers on both sides of the family) it was anyone's guess though :)
