This is how my precious son looks most days with his sippy cup........
HOWEVER....there are also days when the "terrible two's" (that I've previously mentioned we are going dealing with) decide to over take my child.
Even though Kal-el is still about two months shy of turning two he hit this lovely stage about a month ago.
The following pictures display his reaction to me pouring him milk instead of JUICE! What in the world was I thinking LOL
"Umm juice thank you Mommy...wait a minute..."
"This isn't JUICE...It's MILK!"
By this time the tantrum insues...
He throws his gross milk sippy to the floor....
Then himself.....lol
Sometime I give in and offer juice (hey.. don't judge a pregnant women I have to pick my battles with Super)..others times I just give him a few minutes of alone time to wind himself down. Often times he's just due for a nap. Then there is my favorite scenario..where he is just happy to sip on whatever is in his sippy. I must say that I do love his independence and I wouldn't have it any other way even as exhausting as it happens to be at present! :-) Talk about a SUPER fit!
Samuel does the SAME thing! He says, this is NOT juice! But I want him to drink more milk so I give him milk. I don't know if this will help in your situation but I give Samuel his milk in a "Big Boy Cup" (without a top) and he sits at the table with me and drinks it. After several several months of this, now he comes to me and will tell me, "I want a big boy cup" (meaning milk) or "I want a baby cup" (meaning juice). He automatically gets juice if we are going in the car. He won't drink milk out of a sippy cup either!
