Who needs a bottle anyway?

The pediatrician told us to give Elliott water on days that are hotter than 90 degrees to prevent him from dehydrating. I've tried several times in the past week or so to give him water from a bottle and he not only has refused to drink it, but he's gagged more times than I care to recall.

Yesterday, Ross was carrying around his usual cup full of ice water and Elliott was eyeing it like the plastic cup truly held a wonderful prize. So, we decided to see if he could drink some water from a cup.

We were very careful to be slow and let him drink just a tiny bit at a time and the verdict: The kid seems to like anything that comes in a cup. We did have some spillage and a minor choke, but it all went pretty well.





We'll have to try it again soon.
