Sippy Cup Mess Up

Lucy is in the process of cutting two more teeth (she has one already). While this is very exciting, it is also so trying. Lucy has been a grumpier version of herself and we both feel bad for her and also feel frustrated because there isn't really too much we can do for her. She did really enjoy her first teething biscut yesterday though - it was really yummy and very messy! Last night, Lucy had a rough night. She had trouble falling asleep and kept waking up until around 1:45 when she finally fell asleep in her daddy's arms and then slept through the rest of the night. Poor girl!

In other news... Lucy has been drinking almost all of her formula out of the Nuk trainer sippy cups. They are a little more like a bottle than regular sippy cups and she seems to really enjoy them. Today was the first day we sent her to school with sippy cups - what an exciting step in her development. Well, things didn't go as well as hoped. Apparently, Lucy drank the first sippy cup without issue. When she was given the second cup (around lunchtime) she wasn't so happy, she rejected the cup, tossing it around and crying. After a nap they tried again with the same result, so only yogurt for lunch! Well, then Lucy's teacher decided to use the "back-up bottle" so she would eat. This worked without a hitch. Ms. Steph called to let me know, much to my surprise. Well, it turns out that Ms. Steph was having her lunch when the second cup was given to Lucy and the teacher in the room didn't realize there is a disk between the cup and the nipple, so little Lucy didn't want the cup because no matter how hard she tried, nothing would come out! Brian and I have both done this at home as well, but we figured it out. Sadly, when I gave Lucy a sippy cup for dinner she freaked out, she must have been thinking "oh no, I can't do this again!" With a little help from her momma she realized there was indeed formula in that cup and sucked it down in just minutes! We will try again tomorrow, but I am going to be sure to pack some back-ups so Lucy isn't traumatized two days in a row. Just what a teething girl needed...
