My Proudest Mommy Moment

Ok - that title is a bit exaggerated - this probably isn't my proudest mommy moment, but it got me really excited. Deacon has struggled with the straw type cups for a few months now. He will bite the straw, pull it out of the cup, throw it on the floor, and never once figure out how to sip out of it. granted, he drinks from a sippy just fine, but I found this lack of learning a challenge for me. I have been determined to teach him how to drink from a straw. I bought a sippy with a spout that looks like a straw and he figured it out.....eventually. So now every few weeks I get out the straw cup.

But, up until yesterday, he just never grasped it. UP UNTIL YESTERDAY :) Here he is at dinner last night (spaghetti and meatballs all over his face) enjoying his first cup/straw experience. (excuse the red eye)
