Somebody's got a drinking problem...

[Sorry, bad joke?]  Lately, we have been practicing drinking from a cup.  Mostly in the bathtub...

...but occasionally from Mom's cup, too...

And sometimes playing with the ice is the best part!  See on her cheek and forehead where she was pressing the glass into her face?   

For the most part it's going well, except for when she gets a little too excited and tips the cup too far up, sending a deluge down her throat.  It catches her off guard every time, and she looks so surprised and disappointed as she looks up all teary-eyed and sputtering.  It breaks my heart, but she's gotta learn.  And boy, does she want to!  The sight of a glass being filled is enough to make her reach up and just beg to have a try.  Drinking from a cup is one of those little things that is making her more child and less baby everyday! 

*gulp*
