Spaghetti for Lunch

We had spaghetti for lunch yesterday.  The kids always enjoy spaghetti.
There is no "spaghetti sauce" (as in marinara) here. At least I have not been able to find it.
Abuela makes her own, which is nothing like marinara...
She mixes ketchup with crema and a little mustard.  It tastes a little bit like fry sauce
Cooper is starting to eat by himself.  Most people I've met, have their baby sit on their lap and then feed them from their plate.  We've been doing that for the most part, but lately Cooper is more interested in climbing and trying to grab my plate, so we busted out the chair and he's rather enjoying feeding himself. 
He gets the food everywhere.  On the floor, in his hair, and loves to wipe his tray with his hands and clears all the food off.... maybe that's why people feed their kids, less wasted food.
He certainly is enjoying himself, and learning good skills..... so I'll take the wasted food and extra mess.
