As many of you know, Lauren has been bottle-free for about a week now. She's actually been using a sippy cup for several months, but she's been fairly stubborn (huh? my child???) about only drinking water out of a sippy. "Silly Mommy, milk goes in a BOTTLE!" Well, last week when I was at grad school, Todd took charge and frankly wore her down on the matter. For the past few days, she'll drink the milk out of the sippy, but gives us these very mature dirty looks (flash forward to age 13...YIKES!!). This morning we tried something new and just ever so slightly warmed the milk and the child chug-a-lugged with the best of them, consuming 1.5 sippys worth o' the frothy white stuff. We think it was just too cold and because the spout allows more milk out it was like little brain freeze for her. No wonder she would fuss at us.
Lesson learned. :)
PS. The B-O-T-T-L-E-S (we can't say it out loud) are all packed in a box and heading to the basement. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As someone highly susceptible to brain freeze - I say good job to Lauren's smart parents :)
I actually felt dumb that I didn't figure it out sooner...oh well. Now she is a sippy drinking machine! :)
