Weasels

It's a sad day as a mother when you are confronted by the reality that your seemingly sweet and innocent child is, in fact, a sneaky little weasel.

As Ellie has been sick (and even before) I've bemoaned the fact that she doesn't drink out of a sippy cup yet. Or drink anything but formula from her bottle. No interest in water or even juice -- particularly not if the beverages in question are cold. It's warm bottles of formula or bust.

So I was picking her up from Day Care yesterday, noticed some of the "big girls" drinking from their cups, and mentioned to Ellie's teacher my frustration that she didn't drink well. I asked her for suggestions...

...and noticed her hiding an amused smile. "Um," she said, "Ellie drinks from a sippy cup here all the time."

WHAT!?

It turns out that Ellie is quite the proficient sipper, and she drinks cool tap water regularly after playing.

Miss Mouse, you are so busted.
