Drinking Problem

I have a five year old named Holly who has an odd drinking preference. When we put water in her bowl she largely ignores it. There are times when we have to coax her to drink. Yet there are two places we can put the water where she scrambles for it like she is dying of thirst.

The first as you can see in the picture is a wine glass. She loves to get her tiny head as far down into the glass as possible and then lets her Gene Simmons like tongue do the rest.

The second place we don't have a picture of yet because she tends to do this close to bed time. I often have a bottle of water handy on my night table and the second I open it and start drinking she comes and attacks my mouth. I can put the water in my mouth without swallowing it and she will drink just about every drop of water out of it no matter how many times I do it. Something tells me she just wants to drink like her mommy and daddy!
