Drinking From A Straw

Wigglebean's Mommy pointed out the other day that Miss S was very happy drinking from a straw rather than a sippy cup so I decided that I should give it a try with Isabelle. I had bought this Gerber cup with a straw when Isabelle was about 6 months old but kept it in the package thinking that she would probably chew the end of the straw to pieces before she even learned how to drink from it. At first, she did chew on the end and was unsure what to do with it so I unscrewed the lid and let her have a little juice (for incentive) like I was using a medicine dropper. She started sucking through the straw when I was doing that, so I quickly screwed the lid back on and...voila...she figured out how to drink from a straw. It was in a matter of minutes...I should've brought the thing out sooner since she doesn't have to tip this cup to get anything out.
