Ahhh! Refreshing!

Sam has been drinking exclusively out of sippy cups and straws for a while now. She sometimes wants to try an actual cup and we have had some limited success. Mostly, she gets a few sips in and then manages to spill the rest all over herself. I have been reluctant to let her try very often because I am tired of cleaning up the mess! But, today, she grabbed Mark’s half empty bottle of water and she wanted a drink so I figured, ok, let’s see how this goes. It’s only water, right? She did great! It took a little assistance at first, but she eventually got it. For some reason, she seems to want to stick her tongue out and I keep explaining to her that her tongue needs to stay in or drinking doesn’t work. She only spilled a little at the end, but mostly because by that time she was bored and just goofing off. Later in the day she tried again with Mark. She looks so cute and grown up. I think we really need to work on cups and water bottles. She is a big girl now, almost 2, and she has to do it sometime!
