The Finest Water This Side of the Mississippi

In the last two days, John has rejected fabulous Georgia peaches in both forms diced and cooked and raw, skinned slices. He did enjoy playing with the spoon covered in peach juice and he liked holding a peach slice and bringing it to his mouth and setting it back down again.

Tonight I gave him a trainer cup with some water in it to play with. I removed the valve so that water would fall out and give him something to splash. He just wanted to play with it, but then I realized that he's never seen us drink from a trainer cup, so perhaps he doesn't realize what it is. Therefore, I offered him a sip from my regular glass and he took right to it!



Click here for video of John drinking water. (Sorry, we filmed it sideways and cannot rotate the digital video.)

After drinking a few sips from my glass, John seemed to get the concept of drinking from his trainer cup. Here you can see Daddy helping him:
