Sippy Cup = Bye Bye

Last week I decided that it was time for Vinny to be completely done with sippy cups. I told him that on Saturday, that we would go and throw them all away and he could go and buy big boy cups instead. He really wanted Buzz Lighyear cups, so he was excited. He asked if he was going to be a party, and I told him yes... We would have a "Bye Bye Sippy, Hello Big Boy" party. Of course, then he said that we needed a cake, with candles, and balloons... I was all for it... If it really worked, then it was well worth a cake.
When we went to the March of Dimes walk, he got a balloon, so he said that he didn't need party balloons anymore... whatever works, kid :O)

So about 4:30 on Saturday we had his party. We went around the house and searched (in case of any strays) dumped them all out of the cabinet, dug them out of the sink and unloaded them out of the dishwasher and put them in a garbage bag. He had a ton!

Then we had cake. He wanted us to sing to him, so we sang "Happy Big Boy Day to You" and he blew out the candles...

Then he drank out of his new cup. I decided to just go to the party store and get a bunch of paper cups. This way he could change his mind on the design when these were gone, if he wanted.

So here it is Monday morning. He hasn't asked for a cup once. We are shocked. I really thought that at bed time or in the car that he would ask (that is when he wanted them most) but you would think that he never even had them. I am so proud of him for going cold turkey and doing so well. Hopefully this will last :)
