I'm starting to teach DS to use a cup...

But I need to find one first! I'm looking for a small cup with 2 handles on either side that is not a sippy cup. I've been looking all over for one but the only one I've seen so far is a silver momento one.

Any suggestions?

The Tommee Tippee that I have has two handles, and while it is a sippy cup, the lid snaps on and off rather than screwing on and off, so the cup could easily be used without the lid.

That sounds perfect! Have you tried it without the top?

Where did you get it?

I got mine at Big Lots, but that was a few months back. I have used it without the top- that's actually how I convinced Colin to start drinking from it! Here's a link to a picture of the one that I have.

Oooh, I just remembered one potential problem though- it has a weighted bottom so that it won't tip over. That does make it a little heavy for Colin to lift sometimes. He does still manage, but there might be a better option out there.

I've found handled sippys with snap-off tops at dollar stores. I think they're made by Baby King; they make a lot of the dollar-store baby stuff.
