For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get Janie more accustomed to drinking water out of her straw cup. She’s totally capable but often gets distracted by the handles and usually prefers to chew on them rather than drink out of the straw. If she does take a sip, it’s really small and then she’ll toss the cup aside and onto the floor. Tonight at dinner, she grabbed the cup off the table and started drinking on her own. She actually held onto the cup with both hands and took 2-3 huge sips in a row.
She did this repeatedly tonight and even went with the one-handed hold so she could eavesdrop on the table next to us. Hopefully she’s do this for Mirian on Monday because she still doesn’t believe me when I tell her that she can drink from a straw.
