So, my little girl is stubborn. I don't mean she doesn't like to try new things stubborn I mean really really, "I'm not going to do it and you can't make me" stubborn. For those of you that know Matt and I, you are probably wondering where in the world she gets this from because it couldn't possibly be from us.
Our latest struggle with our baby girl has been trying to get her to drink out of a sippy cup. At 9 months I made the switch with Vaughn to one of those litterless juicebox sippy cups, almost instantly and never looked back. Enter my stubborn one, it has taken 2 weeks of hysterical screaming, refusing to drink and being on the verge of dehydration but I am proud to annouce that I won. I bought a different kind of sippy cup and just kept at it, only giving her a bottle before bed and in the morning to make sure she didn't dehydrate herself. Yesterday she got up from her nap, looked at the sippy cup, looked at me and almost with a sigh of resignation reached for the cup and started drinking!
Here's the thing Greta, you get your stubbornness from me (insert shocked gasp here) and I have many more years of honing my skill than you . . . so bring it on little girl I can out stubborn you anytime. But please don't bring it on again anytime soon, Mommy is exhausted!

congrats on your victory! I hear you about the stubborn one, my second seems to have that trait as well and I very often have the same thought as you about honing your skills :)
