our son loves his root beer. he would drink root beer every day if he could, but he can't cuz we are mean parents. and he loves drinking out of a straw. he was 4 or 5 when he finally was able to suck strongly enough to use a straw. we had many trips on the road, and many trips to the fast food places that were aggravating, cuz he couldn't use a straw ( he didn't do well with sippy cups either) this photo reminds us that good things do happen and our kids do accomplish great things, including learning to sip thru a straw!
there are more great photos of special kiddos over at 5 minutes for special needs. go check it out!

I love Root Beer too and so do my boys. Drinking thru a straw is awesome i hope my Ashley will concure that one day she is getting there.
That is one happy boy :0) My Diva loves rootbeer too, as long as it isn't too bubbly. A straw is a must!
Root beer is the best!
That is wonderful! I love it when we can enjoy all the steps our kids take- especially the ones most people take for granted.
