My son has a drinking problem By Matt Rexroad on Monday, May 21, 2007 @ 11:15 PM :: 1 Comments :: Blog   Adam doesn't have the kind of drinking problem that you might think...he is only nine months old. Our problem comes at bath time.  I use a blue scooper from the laundy detergent box to wash the kids' hair.  We also have another pink cup-type thing that I can use if Adam is chewing on the blue one. For the last week Adam has waited until I'm not looking to drink bath water.  It's really kind of disgusting because he doesn't do it early in the bath.  He waits until the end when water quality is at an all time low.  Two kids can really challenge bath water clarity. Tonight I was getting the towels ready for the bath extract when he grabs the cup, dips it into the nasty water, and starts chugging until I can pull it away from him.  He is actually drinking the stuff with a passion. This is not in any of the parenting books that Jenn and I read.  I haven't even laughed at him when he does this.  It is not like this kid isn't getting enough fluids.  He is a sippy cup and feeding machine. Both of our children are a little different.
