Strange thing - the boys love drinking water with their lunch, snacks, and dinner from sippy cups, but when it comes to milk they still prefer to drink it from a bottle. I know, I know, we're a bit behind on this milestone (dropping bottles all together), and nobody would like that more than me...but with baby Spencer and all the craziness right now, we've stuck with what is easiest and most comfortable for the twins. And it's only 2 times per day - when they first wake up and when they go to bed - that they get a bottle of milk.
So anyway, I've been experimenting with different brands of sippy cups that might entice them to like drinking even more - mainly cups with straws. I bought a set of two, but only filled one and handed it to the first baby to come over (Oliver) just to see how things went. Well, Owen was not pleased with this!! He immediately started crying because he did not have a new straw sippy of his own. After seeing that I wasn't going to take it away from Oliver and give it to him (that would have caused even more melting down), he decided to try and steal it for himself! I'm still learning some things are just unavoidable and must be done in two's in order to keep the peace :)
"Mama - you're not going to do anything about this?!?"
Some relief as Wesley passes by...
Oliver even insisted he take his new cup on our wagon ride later on...
