I hate to be a know-it-all but I know what the problem is, and it's fairly obvious. None of these sippy cups are emblazoned with Dora the Explora. Every kid wants to be like Dora! So you buy crap with Dora on it (look for a mark-up so her creator's can get their royalty) and say things like "Dora wants you to drink from a sippy cup! Boots too!" I bought about 15 different cups before it dawned on me. And for the record I swore pre-motherhood I'd never buy food endorsed by cartoon character. Know what's in my fridge? Dora yogurt. Shoot me.

Haha! Yes... the sippy cup drama! Been there done that, but I just lack your determination - bought one she didn't like it, then bought one more with the straw and was all "mmmKay then... you will learn to use a straw once you get your first mojito"

Mmmm... Bathwater.

Jane! That gives me a great idea! I should start sippy cup lending library so other moms can find out which one works for them before buying nine sippies. I'll take your order when you're ready.

When Silas was at the "sippy cup age" we were living off $180 a week, so thankfully I couldn't go on a spree. He had two sippies that my mom bought for him and he never really liked either. He just wanted a regular cup or something with a straw.

Also, can I borrow a sippy cup?

I've been fretting over the lack of sippy use at our house, and then in the bath the other night Henry dunked his rinse cup, lifted it up, and took a hearty quaff of bathwater. So I recommend you fill her sippys with bathwater.

I laughed so hard when I saw this post because I just ordered one of the sippys you have in the picture trying to solve this same problem, and I already own 75% of the ones you have as well.

The worst? The straw Nuby one. I CAN'T EVEN SUCK ANYTHING OUT OF THAT THING.

Ava likes the 2-handled Nuby sippy because she chews a hole in the top and then it pours delicious juice right into her little maw, and of course, all over her body. I just ordered the Munchkin one to see if it is harder to puncture, but it probably isn't.

I like your fiction. And I freakin' love Wall-E, what a genius film.

And hells ya sister, let us hike and have profundity and oneness with nature and you know, bitch about how what isn't actually hard, somehow is.

Hey girl first off I am going to rec. Nuks soft spout first sippy and put water in her cup. That is all Ian has in his sippy allday except his cup of juice with breakfast. He loves water more then juice if I offer juice after breakfast he shows no interest. Best of luck.
