Max is in desperate need of some new cups, but he disagrees. He loves his straw cups as if they are pacifiers, making them tough to toss, even when they are leaky and gross. In an effort to get Max on board with a new cup, we took a trip to Target and let him pick one out. He became obsessed with the cat cups (Pawley cups), and was hugging them like crazy. Too bad he already has that cup and does not really use it. Eventually he was persuaded to purchase two "big boy" water bottles. Max proudly took his new cups to the cashier and ceremoniously disposed of his old straw cup in the store. He has since asked for the old cup a few times, but hopefully he will get over it soon.
