Drinking from a straw (July 16th)

You have learned how to drink from a straw! I haven’t wanted to use the sippy cup too much because I don’t want you to become dependent on it. So we have worked on drinking from a regular cup and today I thought we should try drinking from a straw. You do fine drinking from a cup, but it’s so much cuter to watch you purse your lips around the straw and sip the water. The first time that I put a straw in your mouth, you weren’t too sure about it and gnawed on it as if it were a chewing toy. After a few seconds you shut your lips around the straw, but I don’t think you sucked up the first time. Finally, I felt the cold water come up on the straw and saw your eyes light up when you got some in your mouth. And so you learned!
