dd1 doesn't drink. At all. Ever. She used to, but stopped when she was about 18 months old.
Out shopping today, and stopped to give dd2 her lunch. Dd1 munching happily on crackers while dd2 shovels in food, and I got out a carton of juice for dd2. dd1 took one look, and I was expecting the usual "all finished" when she said "like some"!
Hastily picked myself up off the floor and held the carton for her to drink.
"nice bink" says dd1. "bit more". (poor dd2 is at this point gasping and stretching for the juice, but being told "no dd2, it's dd1's juice)
dd1 only had a few more sips, but I was chuffed as anything.
Then, just now as I was browsing MN, dd1 was flipping through her books and chatting away.
"would you like a bink?" I hear, and turn around, amazed and repeat it, expecting to hear "bink tomorrow" and instead she says "mummy get it ready (dd1 speak for yes).
She had now drunk about a third of a carton.
Blimey. 2 drinks in one day - I really thought it would never happen.
Long may it continue!
