sippy cup training...FAIL

I've got to tell ya. When there is only a small amount of time in the day to get my writing done...it never fails that there is something else happening. The reason for the long delay in posts are because my laptop battery life decided to take a nosedive and gives me around a half an hour unplugged. Ha...and it also happens that the plug to charge the battery decided to follow suit with the battery and break. So, I get a few minutes to write in between trying to charge the computer with a broken cord and a dead battery.
So, on with my funny story of the day...
On Wednesday, we took Kenny in for his check up at his Comprehensive Care doctor. He gained weight. He is no where near the actual growth chart, but he is following his own curve! He gained 6 lbs. this year! He has also gotten much taller. Anyhow...we are to try getting him off his bottles and onto sippy cups, which has been a pain! Kenny's doctor also looked over at Gina and asked why she was still on bottles (yes...I know...don't lecture me...shes 2.5). Honestly...I just haven't even thought about it...well, yes I did...but with everything going on with Kenny, I just havent...well...done it. So...Wednesday was the day! We told Gina that the bottles were gone. We gave them to a baby that needed them. It's easier to get her off of them because Kenny and Gina have two different size bottles. Gina has the 8 oz. Playtex drop ins...while Kenny has the 4 oz. I took all of the 8 oz. bottles and put them behind things in the cupboard, in the kitchen. So it was sippy cups for Gina! First night...cried all night for her bottle. It didn't help that she is sick. She was coughing up a storm. Because of that, she ended up puking all over her bed....yeah..lovely! So, first night was hard...woke up in the morning asking for it. I just told her that the bottles were gone and a baby that needed them has them. Yeah...no. She didn't like that answer, but took her sippy cup anyways.
So as the day progressed, I had to get some things accomplished around the house. Kenny came home from school and it was back to the chairs. Yes...He has really gotten quite good at maneuvering those dining room chairs all over the house. So while him and Gina were playing with the chairs...and the canned goods in the kitchen. I was ordering a new batch of medical supplies for Kenny. I had to walk out of the kitchen because the noise that those two were making, made it sound like I was in a playground with tons of kids and an Ice Cream truck! haha!
So as I am talking to customer service (an actual person, not a computer....woo hoo), Gina comes in the room saying, "I want a baa-baa...make it, puh-leese". I looked at her...and there she was, holding a found 8 oz bottle, the nipple and the nipple ring...and the gallon of milk (which was almost empty). I told her no...and to put it back. No baa-baa's! She stormed off back into the kitchen. Still on the phone, I noticed Kenny walk into the living room with a wet sleeve...I went onto the kitchen thinking I was going to see the milk everywhere. But nooooo....there was only a little bit on the counter and Gina standing there...with a bottle...filled. Bottle bag put in, milk poured, nipple on...yep...she made her own bottle! Little booger! So, now I figured I have to actually get rid of all bottles in the house and maybe hide the milk. ahhhh the joys of motherhood!
