Water Play

by Kate Peterson

Our almost 2 year old loves the water. The problem is that he likes to drink the water. If he's in the bath, he has no problem leaning over and taking a sip. If he is playing on his water table he will pour some into his mouth. If he is in the kitchen he will stick his hand in the dog's bowl and then stick it in his mouth (yikes!). He doesn't have the same issue in the pool strangely enough.

Any ideas on how to convince him to STOP drinking water that is not in a sippy cup or bottle?
