2 year old won't drink water!

I put it in his sippy cup and he hands it back to me if there is water in it. Even when I try putting some juice in it so it has a little more flavor he knows it right away and refuses. He used to be fine drinking water but just won't have it anymore.

We started offering our son water in a cup with a straw.  This is the only way he will drink water (even with the splash of juice).
Now he will suck down a whole cup of water with his straw :)

Start with 1/2 water and 1/2 juice then slowly put less and less juice.

I used to have that problem. I put plastic ice cube shapes in it and let him pick them then it became a HUGE treat.
