(December 2007) A Masonic lodge, often termed a private lodge or constituent lodge, is the basic organisational unit of Freemasonry. It is also commonly, but erroneously, used as a term for a building in which such a unit meets.
Sippy cups can cause speech problems. Our Ped told us, as our kids were approaching 18 months to start weening them off the sippy cup. DS was in a preschool program at that age and all the kids drank water from Dixie cups -- they did not allow sippy cups.S (age 27 mos) is currently in the Toddler I room, which has kids ranging in age from about 18 mos. to 2 1/2 depending on their developmental abilities. They allow sippy cups, straw cups, whatever the parents bring in. The Toddler II room, which most kids move into at 2 1/2, uses open cups only.
Babies of this age are able to hold objects and can learn drinking liquids from a cup. Give your baby a sippy cup that does not have a valve, so he can suck easily. Choose one which can hold 4-6 ounces of liquid, and fill it up to the top so your baby does not need to tilt his head up when sipping. A large cup filled with water may be too heavy for a small baby to use.
