Speech acquisition at my (individual) age starts with learning autonomous feeding. Sitting in a chair at the table, using a spoon, levering food into my mouth, chewing , that kind of thing. I am SO not there yet, and that suits me fine, cos this autonomous eating baloney is really quite tiresome. Old systems worked so well (ie: Mama, my butler, did all the work).
To help me along, Mama has pretty much left me to my own devices. She now plonks my meal down with a spoon, and says "Bon appetit Abigail". I'm not enamoured with this turn of events.
So I have discovered an alternative solution.
Take a look at this and tell me I'm not on the ball!
