No dice.

We have caved after one day without the evening bottle. Brooke needs it to make sense of her schedule. Last night we gave her one kind of sippy cup with milk and she sat in Blake's lap for a few minutes but then got up to stagger around with the cup, spilling milk on the carpet. We switched to another kind of less-drippy sippy cup and the staggering around increased, now with sobbing and thrashing upon the floor thrown in. She was so tired and confused by the lack of bottle. Sippy cups = awake play time, not wind-down rest time. So, back to the bottle we went and all was well again. Brooke is a fantastic eater and sleeper and we are not about to mess with our proven system!
