Wishes and Dreams
This is what I wish for....
This is the reality....
After a full day of negotations on the bottle strike...where I refused to give Ellaiden anything but a bottle and she refused to eat, she finally gave in. Little E finally ate the last two meals of the day out of her "breastbottle". I was SO happy. The next day was back to normal-refusing anything but me. She actually did drink out of a sippy cup, a tiny bit of apple juice mixed with water. Gulped that no problem, but when I switched it for milk she held it in her mouth for a second and then spit it all out. At that point all I could do was laugh...and then gave in. She has won the battle but I will win the war!
