Finally!! After years and years of drinking from a sippy cup - and not wanting to drink from anything else, no matter what, I finally started drinking from a regular cup and straw today!!
It all happened during a field trip that my class had to McDonald's. My teacher Ms. Lauren offered me a plastic cup with a straw with water, and after showing me how to do it, I drank from it like an expert!
Ms. Lauren was so happy she called my mom right away and they were both screaming of happinness over the phone.
I have continued doing it all day long and my parents say there is no turning back. From now on there will be no more sippy cups for this big boy.
As my body gets treated with the clearings plus the detoxing baths plus the AIT sessions that I recently had (and which I would address in a separate blog), my mind awakens to new experiences and understandings. Today my mind clicked to the activity of sucking from a straw and having my drinks without the sippy cup.
For everybody that knows me, this milestone is a huge success. For one thing, leaving the obsession with the sippy cups is great news, but also, drinking from a straw is a very good oral motor exercise that helps the muscles in my mouth to get in shape so that I can articulate sounds better.
We are all very happy! Today is a happy day!
