Request for recommendations: I need to find a straw cup for smoothies that DS can't rip the straw out and splatter smoothie everywhere. We found a Silikids cup we love with a wide silicone straw, but that thing pops right out and then he refuses to put it back in the cup. It's not a straw cup but I liked this for smoothies/yogurts/etc. when we had it (I have no idea where it has gone and it's driving me crazy). This Contigo tumbler also looks like a good option. I've never seen that first one before. That looks cool! I did see the Contigo. It's on my list as a maybe. My Target has them in stock, so I could grab one easily.

I would consider getting her an OT eval... She could be looking for oral sensory input (my 4 year old was constantly putting rocks in his mouth at age 3) This post gave me a light bulb moment. Which is a good thing but I'm kind of kicking myself now. All the pieces are falling into place. I thought she'd grow out of it? But it's obviously not a phase. I've never had to cut her finger nails since she was like 9 months old because she bites them off. She still bites when she's angry too. I have a scar and a bruise from her biting last weekend. Not just people, clothes, objects, whatever's near. I'm going to call the pedi today and see if we can move up her appointment and push for the eval. Bypass the pedi and call your school district’s preschool special Ed for an eval specifically for OT

He is doing shockingly well giving up the pacifier. He asked me for it tonight and I told him it broke and had to be thrown away and that was that and he happily went to bed.
