Over the past few weeks I have been working very hard with Brayden to get rid of the bottles, forget them and move on to the sippy cup. I cut him off could turkey a couple of weeks ago and he didn’t really seem to notice. However, the sippy cup that he likes looks exactly like a bottle and leaks all the time!Anyway, he has finally grasped the concept of the sippy and has started to forgo drinking his milk or water. Instead he likes to squeeze the tip and pour all of the liquid out all over the place! This drives both Brett and I nuts! So for that past few days I have been on the look out for a new sippy cup (to add to the millions we already own) that won’t spill if he plays with it.
On a quick grocery trip today at Target we were browsing the sippy isle when he started to kick and squeal! I didn’t know what he was all excited about until he ripped his binky from his mouth and started saying “choo-choo, choo-choo” over and over again.
Low and behold, there on the shelf was a sippy cup with Thomas the Train on it! It was exactly what we were looking for. Spill proof, hard and insulated. No mess with this one I thought if I could only get him to drink out of it.
WELL, if I had know that all it would take was a Thomas the Train sippy cup to get him to forget about bottles and be the happiest baby I have every seen, I would have saved a lot of time, energy and money on a million other kinds we tried!
He was so happy with his new big boy cup. He would hug, kiss and point at it and say sweetly “choo-choo”. He downed all 9 ounces the moment I gave it to him and I even had to pry it out of his little hands during bath time. He was just so proud and so happy with himself!
Good times for Brayden!

P.S. Another purchase at Target…our very own “Time Out” mat! HA! We’ll see how this pans out…
