    Charlie drinks from a water bottle, I tried the cups & he would just shake it about also. Have you tried putting the water in something else, we use the Nuby water bottle with the straw. It's non spill & Charlie drinks out of it great, holds it himself & drinks lots of water now also. I send that to daycare with him.
    Now if only he could hold his own bottle we would all be happy LOL.

    Just remembered another way we encouraged Charlie to drink the water himself was to leave the bottle on the ground where he was playing. We would show him, put it up to his mouth for a drink then pop back on the ground. It's over 40 up here, so he gets thirsty lots & learnt very quickly how to get the water.
