A Cup of Sunshine
After breakfast yesterday morning, Abbie walked up to the refrigerator.
“I want juice, please,” she said.
I always give her orange juice in the morning. I try to limit my children’s juice intake, but I give in with orange juice. I always drink a glass too, and it’s easier to let her drink some instead of chugging my glass while she screams at my feet.
We’ve been working on drinking from normal glasses, so I pulled one from the cupboard and started filling it. Abbie protested, shook her head violently, and finally intoned “I want a sippy cup, please.”
While I’m pleased with the development of her language and manners, her drinking skills need work.

We used one of the transition cups from Gerber... the liquid comes out the same way it does a glass, so they have to drink correctly. It avoided a lot of fits for us, it looks like a sippy - plus it locks so it won't leak in the car. They have 'em at Hy-Vee.
