The sippy cup case
I should mention that Agent Murphy has made tremendous progress. He gets a cup 3 times a day, and now he pretty regularly drinks at least a couple of ounces from it each time. At lunch today he just about drained the cup. Starting this next week, we’ll switch his breakfast bottle out for a cup, and then in a couple weeks his bed time bottle will become a cup with dinner. For now, he only likes the one cup with the soft spout he can chew on. Most of the larger cups seem to have harder spouts, so I think over the next few weeks we’ll do some work on drinking from the harder-spouted cup that is otherwise like the cup he likes and see where we get. Right now I’m just happy he’s drinking from a cup. Good boy!
