Strollerderby Playdate: Sippy Cups Are from Hell Edition

Emmeline will not use a sippy cup. She'll play around with it for a bit -- maybe, if I'm lucky, she'll pretend to put it to her lips and then in an instant fling it to the floor. In the very beginning of trying to get her off the bottle, I didn't worry too much about it. But now I'm harboring fears of packing her off to college with a box of books, a fresh pair of pants and a bottle warmer.

So I did what any other parent would do in these times of crisis: head to the blogosphere, hoping I'm not the only one going through this. I'm not. Sippy cups are a scourge on humanity -- whether they're simply ignored or hurled across the room.

Daddy Diary knows a thing or two about sippy cup fastballs. 

As My World Turns thankfully has someone to clean up after spilling a sippy cup.

Life's Crazy Sometimes reminds us that mastering the sippy cup is not permanent.

A Mother's Monologue says bottles and sippy cups are enough to create multi-generational feuds. Kind of. 

Nap time is almost over now. Time to refill the sippy cup and prepare myself for battle.

My kid still has no idea what to do with a sippy cup at 15 mo.  Last month she stole my camelbak waterbottle from my bike (the one with the silicone nipple you bite and suck through the straw) and had it figured immediately.

We didn't have sippy cups.  We went straight to the cup.  It was a mess at first but they quickly got the hang of it.

Go get a Nuby sippy cup.

There at Walmart, $1.

It's worth the trip.  Pick up some Bugles while you're there.
