My Munching Munchkin

I found these cute cups a couple months ago and decided to get one for Adel.

I needed something for her on the go. I tried putting a plastic cup with snacks in her carriage's cup holder but she just pulled it out. I could tell she was being careful not to spill it, but of course, she did.
So I decided to give one of these cups a chance. I didn't think she'd really figure it out because the therapists were working on "in and out" with her and she just wasn't putting things into containers or removing them.

Well, if anyone knows Adi, she needs a good motivation to preform.
Like the time I made her cruise from chair to chair by making her a snack run:



She was really cruising!
And the time I blocked her exit out of the dining room with file boxes. She really wanted in on the kitchen action, so she pulled to a stand and stood for a good long time.

So... Adi accomplished "out" that the therapists were working on for months as soon as she saw that her reward will be FOOD.

This is the very first time I presented the cup to her. Go Adi!
