Milk, Milk, Milk!


Ever since Kayla's 1 year doctors appointment, we have been trying on and off to get Kayla to stop drinking milk from the bottle. A couple of months ago, we decided we were going to take it away, and were not going to give in. Well, since then, Kayla was hardly drinking any milk. I was concerned, but the doctor said to give her some time. We were stubborn and she was stubborn, and it looked like neither or us were going to budge. So I tried one last thing. Something that one of our best friends tried out first. They were successful, so I decided I had no other choice. We went down to the Disney store and Kayla picked out her very own NEW sippy cup (of course the same on that Ashlyn had picked too). Kayla was so excited that she wanted to drink out of it right then, but I told her that she had to wait because we were only going to drink milk out of the new Minnie Mouse cup. When we got home and had dinner that night she drank 1 1/2 cups of milk and the rest is history. I cannot believe it worked. And we are so proud of her! She is becoming such a big girl!
