Eating

Here's a video example of Maggie eating. It's not the greatest example, but it definitely gives you an idea of how she eats.

First, she stuffs her mouth so full that food often spills out of her mouth. Then, she prefers to chew at the front of her mouth instead of using her molars (but in this example you will see her point to her molars and show me how she chews-progress!) She always wants to use her hands to manipulate the food into her mouth (which does not make her mouth do the work) In this video you will see me take her hand away from her mouth. If you watch closely you will see her lips pull the food in her mouth.

It may not seem like a big deal, but for Maggie... IT IS!
