potential 'white elephant'?

went shopping at westmall and got mon cherie the much talked about pigeon training cup - magmag straw cup for stage 3 (8months +) to be exact. plus there was an additional 15% discount for it - why not?! : )

i got the exact same one as this:

when we got home in the afternoon, i am so excited to let her try on it... afterall, this is meant for 8months plus babies and mon cherie has way pass that stage.

she was obliging at first... at least for the 1st couple of times... (yeahhh!)
she was willing to let me stick the straw inside her tiny mouth for a taste.
i showed her how to 'suck' the water out... with all the animation & sound effect i could think off to get her attention and hopefully, imitation as well.

but alas... she refused it. (bleah!!!)

the moment she felt the straw touch her tongue, she turned her head away. then it got worst, the moment the straw came an inch closer to her face/mouth, she turned her head side-ways and trying to 'escape' elsewhere. (arghhh.....)

oh dear.... looks like this will be another white elephant to her collection of stuffs which i tried to introduce her to... (hhhmmmmmmmmm........)

maybe i just need to be have patience... it is afterall, a 'learned skill' than needs time to acquire.

so... "gambatte" my mon cherie...
