Today's hill to die on
 
Water!

Early bird is sitting screaming at me at the table because I told her she couldn't leave untill she drank 1c of water.

It is already 85 with a heatindex of 92 st 8:00 we have no ac.

This is going to be a very long day

Is there any way to make it fun? I could she suck ice cubes? Add a splash of juice? Straws? Under those conditions I'd concede a lot to get the fluids in, regardless of normal house rules. :hug That kind of heat is no fun.

Try drinking from bowls and spoons? Brothy soup? Popsicles?



That is SO hot. :(

She in general doesn't eat liquid. Doesn't drink water doesn't eat the broth in soup. She will drink sweet things and eat fruit. It is frustrating.

What fruits/veggies will she eat? Water melon, cantaloupe, honeydew, cucumber, etc. are all mostly water. Would a fun straw (the crazy curly ones that cannot be washed in the dishwasher UGH) make her want to drink? Can you make popsicles or Jell-O? If you have a QuickTrip or Chick Fil-A nearby, you could get the yummy crushed ice that is easy to chew.

She will eat fruit. And I try to keep us stocked with water fruits.

I find it frustrating because if she decides she won't eat cuecumbers for a week they will rot.

Today we set a all new high minimum temp for the state it neaver got below 80 at any point yesterday. Today should he slightly better.

My kids like to eat ice or crushed ice (I just smash it up myself lol), or drink water from toy teacups.
