Bye Bye Bottle

We have done it...and hopefully it sticks! We are going to try and get Andrew off his bottle; not the Pediasure, but the actual drinking it from a bottle. We started tonight and I have to sat it went fairly well. We slit the nipple on his bottle, turned it upside down and stuck a straw in it so that it still looks the same with the pediasure bottle, but is a straw. He also has a variety of sippy cups that I so lovingly invested in trying to find one he likes! Bry went in to read books with him tonight and he took one sip from the straw and a couple sips from the sippy cup. This was not super great considering he usually drinks a whole bottle during nighttime books. I was worried...so we sat on the floor and read more books and I told him if he wanted to turn the page he had to take another drink through the straw. It worked! He drank a half a bottle of pediasure...not quite as much as he usually does, but that is better than three sips, right? I was glad. I know he can do it...he is just a little on the stubborn side. This could be a trying week, but I am ready!
