For the most part, the weekend was drama free. However, we kept having "incidents" with Betsy and cups. She likes to do what Jay is doing and I know we are probably fussing with her about this often, but for some reason because Dad was around the whole argument just seemed ridiculous. As always, John Rosemond has a "common sense" fix. After all, who wants to ruin a nice meal over sippie drama!
"And while I’m on the subject of sippy-cups, here’s a radical notion: Instead of giving your child everything but water to drink, make water the norm. Beginning around age two, introduce open-topped plastic or paper cups with about an inch of water in the bottom. Believe me, a two-year-old will master the art of drinking from a topless, spoutless container within a couple of weeks. And so what if he spills? It’s water! When the child masters one inch of water, increase it to an inch and a half. And so on. By age three, the child will be drinking full cups of life’s most necessary compound without incident."
