okay, here's my first official product push as a mom. i purchased this sippy cup a couple of months ago after a dear friend mentioned that her little andrew was liking straws already. i thought, my son has never even *tried* a straw! so, i trotted down the sippy cup aisle at Target, thinking, i'll have to get one with a straw because mo seems to be having trouble getting the hang of regular sippy cups. well, this particular cup has a straw, and it's made so that you can squeeze the bottom and get the fluid into your baby's mouth. after a week, moses was drinking like a champ through the straw without any coaxing from me (though not much, since he never really seems to be very thirsty). and now, months later, i can let him drink from any regular cup using any regular straw. it really still seems like a miracle to watch him do it.
thank you, brilliant sippy cup!
in related news, i've been giving mo a regular plastic kid's cup with a bit of water in it the past few days. this morning, he held the cup with both hands, tilted it back to his mouth and drank all the water in it without spilling any... all on his own! i couldn't believe my eyes. i felt like i was watching a monkey braid someone's hair.
so, i think we're not going back to the bottle (which he rejected suddenly a few months ago) or even the regular sippy cup from here on out. moving forward. growing up. boo hoo hoo. :O(
