Sucker

Today Eli figured out how to drink from a straw. We bought him a special straw cup a few weeks ago. The straw is a little more firm than your traditional disposable straw so that it does not easily collapse, especially if he chews on it. It has been sitting unused in the cupboard, and I would give it to him every once in a while just to let him try it out. Usually he would get frustrated after a few seconds and whine for his sippy cup. I tried again today, solely because it was the only clean toddler cup in the house and I was too lazy to wash any of the other ones. Luckily, this time he figured it out right away!

Honestly, I am excited about this because it makes it soooo much easier if we go out and I forget to bring along a sippy cup. Not that I do it very often. OK, I will admit it. I forget Eli's cup about once a week. He does not mind too much... just as long as I don't forget the graham crackers
