Hi ,

The sippy cup thing is the same thing my son did. I couldnt seem to get him

to understand the concept of tipping up the cup to drink. Our solution was a

straw cup. They sell ones at Wal-mart that have a one-way valve built into

the straw (although it is not 100% leakproof). Also, we started letting him

have an open cup of his favorite juice in the bathtub. It really seemed to

help that he could see the juice and finally figured out to tip it up and the

fact that he was already in the bath tub helped with all the times he tipped

it up too much! Hope that helps!

Thanks Kathy,

WE Have been trying the bathtub thing....great minds think alike!!!!!

LOL.......They still don't get it...they just dump it all out...so we are

letting them use bath water (YUCK!!!!!) oh well..

I wish they would take a straw....but they won't take them either they don't

get it and won't let the straw in their mouthes....we will keep trying LOL
