We have tried. And tried. And tried...to get Griffin to effectively drink from sippy cups. We have all eaten dinner while drinking from them, we have bought about every type that we can think of (with/without straws, soft, with/without valves, short, tall, fat, skinny, with/without handles -- you get the picture), we have tried to get him to drink from one at each meal, we tried repeatedly repositioning his hands because maybe, we thought, he didn't understand that he had to tip it back to get liquid out; all, unfortunately, to no avail. Until yesterday! Ms. Ashley told me that Griff put his sippy in his mouth (it had a hard lid)...and tipped it back -- no hands -- and chugged it. I thought maybe he was just clowning, until dinner, when he did it again, with a different type of sippy (though he used his hands this time). And today? He drained several sippies of milk. Finally! Now that he only gets one bottle per day (in the morning), we needed him to get something to drink without a bottle.
And now that he drinks from his sippies, he doesn't pull any punches -- he tips it back, WAY back, and chugs it. Everyone says that he gets his looks from his daddy..."look, a little Ben!"...well, folks, now that he's a champion chugger it looks like he has some of his mommy in him too!! Nice work, Griff! :)
I snapped the pics on my phone and they didn't come out so well...
