Spitting his drink

Josiah has started taking mouthfulls of drink, and then deliberately spitting it out. He has a non-spill cup, so he's not tipping his drinks out. He's tried once or twice, but seems to have figured out it doesn't work. We tell him "no" and take the cup away if he keeps doing it, but the problem is both Nat and I like to have his cup with water in it available for him to get whenever he wants it... and if I'm constantly having to take it off him it kind of defeats the purpose!

Any ideas to get him to stop? He seems to have figured this out on his own... I know none of us have taught him this rather annoying new habit.

yeah sorry, Kobe was exactly the same around that age but grew out of it. I think cos they get a reaction they keep doing it so maybe try ignoring him (the spitting not him, you know what I mean) I know it looks gross and can get messy but the novelty will wear off if he isnt gettin any attention for it. Kobe does it with food at the moment then gives it to the dog, very gross

Alan is doing the same and like you I like him having water anytime he want's it so it is a pain. I have notied he seem's to do it when he has really had enough to drink so I take it off him as soon as he does that then give it back about half hour later till he does it again but it is a pain to remember to give it back;. Sory not much help here either.
