Potty Training, Cups, and ABCs

So this week, we have decided to end the battle of the sippy cup. Every meal tends to be a battle of wills, because Luke will not drink milk very well. I have a hard time with this one, because to be honest drinking milk just about makes my stomach turn, unless there are warm chocolate chip cookies involved. Anyhow, we have discovered that Luke does love to drink from a "big boy cup" so he now is almost sippy cup free! It is so funny, every time he picks up the cup he says "careful, careful" to himself.

Here is the milk moustache to prove it! :)
We also have been in potty training boot camp this week. Luke has been interested in potty training for several months now, but nothing consistent. This week we are attempting to jump this hurdle and try to make it more consistent. He loves the stickers he gets, but more than that the kid loves washing his hands! I will spare you the pictures of this wonderful new phase!
Also this week we have been working on our alphabet. For Christmas the boys got magnet letters to go on our fridge, and they play with them for hours! They are not spelling supercalafragalisticexpialadocious or anything (not that I know how too) but they have a lot of fun trying.
Love,
Mer
