In an effort to wean Reilly off of the bottle, yesterday we tried to get our daughter to drink milk from one of her Nuby sippy cups. Reilly grabbed the cup, took a few good gulps, then spit the milk out. When we encouraged (read: forced) her to try the sippy again, she sucked in some milk and them promptly let it dribble down her chin and all over her outfit. She looked up at me like, what the hell, dad?
As I changed her outfit, I wondered what the problem was. True, Reilly had always drunk milk from a bottle and water from a sippy, but milk tastes like milk and water tastes like water. What does it matter what container she drinks the milk out of?
(Well, apparently, it matters quite a bit.)
If you'll remember, it took us like a month to get Reilly on a bottle. I hope it doesn't take that long to get her off of one.
