I'd like to start this post off with a big "Way to go Greg"!!! We decided to move from the bottle to the sippy cup a couple of weeks ago. It was not an easy task - for those with kids, you understand, it's not easy to take something away or change something that your child is used to.
We went with the cold turkey method. Greg was tasked with working on introducing the sippy cup during the day....ALL DAY, ALONE. The first night we used the sippy cup, and not the bottle, it took an hour and a half to finish his milk. Whew....there was a lot of cheering, clapping and encouragement for Carson. He didn't have a problem with the milk, it was the method in which he was receiving the milk.
Each day was a little better - slowly but surely. I kept telling myself that there are no adults walking around drinking out of bottles because they never learned how to drink out of a cup - therefore, he would get it. haha!
Sure enough, he has mastered it! Way to go Carson! I definitely think he was testing us - the final score was probably something like mommy and daddy 1, Carson 28. BUT, our 1 outweighs his 28! haha!!
