War of the Sippy Cup

I've decide I need to suck it up and wage war on the sippy cups in our house.  My children L-O-V-E warm milk in the sippy.  They are not big juice drinkers but would drink warm milk in a sippy cup any time of day.  I'm sooo tired of collecting sippy cups from every place in the house/car/outside/etc. Today I let each of the kids pick out a Thermos water bottle (with a straw, so we'll see how I like washing those) from Target and I started throwing away our sippies.  I'm going to try (try) to enforce keeping the water bottles in the kitchen and at the table.... we'll see if I'm successful.  But it is time!  So let the war on the sippy cups begin!  Oh, and yes, I put milk in the water bottles for lunch today.  I don't think warm milk is going away just yet.  Maybe in phase two...

    I feel like we are living the same life! I don't have to warm up milk (bless you, child), but my kids would drink milk and lots of juice (horrible for their teeth) all day. We dropped it with Mal, but she seriously BEGS for a sippy every morning. We have limited it to the car or at bedtime! Let me know if the water bottles work! I'm sick of collecting the sippy cups as well!

    We bought Lainey a mini Nalgene, too...so far she seems to like that it is new! Good luck! The water bottles are super cute, and I love that thumbs up!

    We are in the same boat. It's a comfort thing....but it's ridiculous that max is 5 and needs a sippy in the morning!
