Move over Baba..




Move over Baba, Sippy cup is taking your place.  It might not seem like that big of a difference in this photo, but to Miles it is the world.  After Therese got you to drink your afternoon milk (i have to say that is one my favorite words you say! Next one to capture on video) I just decided that it is time to go cold turkey. This morning you weren't a fan. You cried and cried for baba but then went on playing. Walked up to your cup and knocked it over. "Uh oh" you said. You wiped up the spilled drop of milk and went on playing. A few minutes later you cried "Baba Baba"  We just went on with our morning.

Before we were even able to make it downstairs to have breakfast, you had snatched up the sippy cup and started swigging. You didn't drink the whole thing but I am okay with that.  I packed up all the bottles today and left out only the Sippys. I hope that you don't cry tonight before bed.   I can imagine this is what it would have been like if we took away your paci once you could vocally express your disdain.

So glad we did that before. The bottle is hard for you. We all have our vices. I am confident that in a few days you will be happy as a clam to get your morning milk in your sippy and we will move onto the next phase.
