But I'm just going to say it,
today, I'm pretty much a genius.
(And if you don't know me, this is completely dripping with sarcasm.)
Edith is completely fed up with ever being fed, and of course, I haven't had the time to spoon feed anyone since like 2003. So, I throw the spoon and whatever it is that she wants on the tray and let her go for it.
Her particular favorite right now, applesauce.
Except she shoves her little hands into the cup only to come up with just enough to lick off, then comes the frustration of not getting more, which follows by the complete frustration of me as she tosses the cup over her tray to splatter all over the floor and wall.

I thought I was genius when I discovered this too. We were traveling a lot and my son at the same age couldn't handle a spoon in the car so we served all his baby food meals to him this way. Even squash through a straw.
I'll go with you on the genius!
I think our kids did pick up a straw and do it on their own, but it wasn't my idea:)

take it and run with it!!
Yes, that's awesome! You really are a genius. I hope that works with yogurt, too. Let's see Stella give her 'look' (patent pending) at THAT.
Oh good good idea! Ryder insist on feeding himself- totally going to try this.
Awesome.
