45 Inspired by you No-More-Spills-Cup marie (36) with Paul (2) getting Paul to focus on feeding was never easy. that was already the case during breastfeeding. Anything was much more exciting than drinking at the breast. It got a bit better as time passed. But he is still a great dreamer. that’s why I always give him his ice lolly in a paper muffin cup. I just poke the stick through the bottom of the cup. And whenever Paul is more occupied with checking out his surroundings than licking his ice lolly, it can drip as much as it likes – it won’t be making any more stains! Toothbrush Dinosaur evelyn (33) with marla (2) my daughter loves dinosaurs. she sleeps in dinosaur pyjamas, wears a dinosaur jumper and even has dinosaur hair clips. What she doesn’t like one bit: brushing her teeth. After tears night after night, my husband and I were so desperate that we used her love of dinosaurs to our own advantage. He bought a small plastic dinosaur, drilled a hole through the middle of it and put marla’s toothbrush inside. “dinosaurs always brushed their teeth, that’s what made them so big and strong,” we simply claimed. It worked – she still doesn’t like brushing teeth as much as dinosaurs, but at least there are no more tears.
