Sippy Cup Update

Since everyone is hanging on the edge of their seats, waiting for that first fateful sip from the sippy cup, I thought I’d let you all know…it hasn’t happened yet.

This is not for lack of trying, mind you. She’s gotten her grandmother to drink from a sippy cup for an entire lunch. She’s gotten her mommy to play peek-a-boo with a sippy cup, in between making the sippy cup dance and creating “yes, you too can drink from a sippy cup” jingles. She’s gotten her daddy to try to reason with her, and plead and cajole, and say things like, “C’mon, Zoe. Take a drink for Daddy.”

We’ve tried purple sippy cups, pink sippy cups, green sippy cups, sippy cups that change colors when they get hot or cold. We’ve tried sippy cups with handles and without handles, with lids and without lids, with valves and without valves.

We’re going to start calling her Tenacious Z.

Scoreboard
Zoe: 151 hours and counting
Grown Ups: 0 sippy cups
