Cup update

So I was afraid I had spoken too soon after my last post, since James then refused to drink out of the new cup for a couple of days. I was trying to introduce it while letting him still drink out of his old cup. I talked to his speech therapist and we decided to completely take away his old cup. But in a stroke of brilliance, she noticed that the new top fit on his old cup! So now he has the old cup with handles, but the new hard top. He's been drinking out of it with my (and his teacher's) assistance (thirst is a powerful thing), but has also started doing it on his own! He doesn't quite get lip placement, and we've left out the valve so there's more immediate satisfaction, so he kind of pours the water in his mouth as opposed to sipping, but we're cooking:)
