In a tremendous battle of wills that has been waged for months, the stubborn little princess seems to be finally lowering her standards, giving Mommy a slight edge. Yes, Sydney is reaching for a cup of milk. At bedtime.
She also was happily walking around with a glass of milk in hand yesterday when I got home from work. "Happily walking around" - that's the key phrase there. Usually I arrive home to a child in the midst of a meltdown who can't be consoled until she's nursed. Perhaps she's finally discovered the joys of staying hydrated when Mommy's not around.
Mommy is far too wise to declare victory quite yet. But this little moment has provided a glimmer of hope that one day soon, Sydney – who prides herself on eating like a big girl – will begin to drink like one, too.
P.S. that expression on her face isn't a smirk. It's a mouthful of blueberries, her new favorite food.
