We thought John Robert might not learn how to drink through a straw until he was old enough for us to verbally explain to him how to do it. We had offered him cups with straws to drink from, and he just wasn't getting it--although he loves to play with straws. But last night, while we were at the Honda dealership, we were drinking Cokes from cups with straws. John Robert grabbed one and started drinking! He didn't like the taste, but he thought sipping through the straw was so cool he didn't want to quit. So we emptied one of our cups and poured the milk from his sippy cup into it. He drank that down and we had to refill with water to keep him satisfied.
This picture is from breakfast this morning. We had gone out to eat (it's easier to beat the church crowd when you're up early due to daylight savings time), and he was once again happily drinking his milk through a straw.
Oh, by the way, we bought an '08 Fit.
