Thanks Jols.

The problem i also have is that Chelsea wont drink anything but water or juice out of a cup (hence why we still have bottles for milk). So i dont know how well id go with a shake in a cup. Perhaps i could try a straw and hold the cup for her?

anythings worth a try! why dont you both have one and drink it together?

Everyone always has good idea!!! Yeh that might work Jols....if she sees me then she might drink it too.

Its like the toothbrush prob i have...wont let me brush..so nurse said buy a brush for her dolls..and then she might brush her own...(role play kinda concept).

Seriously some days i wonder how i get through life and raise kids!

with the teeth brushing i have worked out that if i let her brush mine i can brush hers!! works well for the moment

We had the same with toothbrushing, now she just uses an adult brush like we use, so as long as she has one i dont care. Try that Kim? otherwise, like jols said she brushes her own teeth, then mine.
We were out the other day and i bought a banana flavoured milkshake and evie drank the whole thing, i'm sure if you added something to the milk and made it a bit more exciting she'd try it.
you might even just have to go cold turkey on the bottles and if that means she doesnt drink milk for a couple of days then thats ok, she might eventually drink it out of a cup/sippy cup if she realises thats her only option.
also, you can get those twisty curly straws...maybe she'd find that fun and drink milk that way

also, evie just slept for 1hr 15mins this afternoon! hooray!!!! longest sleep in days, so i'm hoping she'll sleep tonight!

man i'm in a world of pain!!! I went to the physio today (who was very cute!) and he was very through. thinks there is one of two problems happening - either two lower discs are bulging, or my hip/pelvis is all out of wack. he strapped my back, and apparently that will reveal which one it is.... fffffffuuuuucccccckkkkkk it hurts! I finally found a place to get comfortable, and I'm not moving from it. have had some of DH's strong pain killers it hurts that much. I am going to ring him tomorrow to just make sure that it should be hurting this much... I can't even bend over. between DH and I - we are useless. Poor kids - not fair on them. going to ring around tomorrow and see how much it will cost to get someone to do the edges and slash the area where my vege patch is - that is now incredibly overgrown.

Kim - Aston wouldnt drink milk, but inhales smoothies! Brushing teeth - I sing the ten little indians song, or say what sound does a lion make rarrrrrrrrr, and lie him back in my arms so I get them. I have a brush, then he gets to have brush.

Tara glad everything ok with Evie.

Jols - glad Sophie has resigned herself to the fact that the milk bar is shut.
