* AVerySpecialEpisode: In "Bottles Away", Tommy's bottle gets washed away by a wave at the beach, and he pretends to be a pirate captain to get it back. Around this time, Didi considers wearning Tommy off his bottle so that she can give it to the new baby and Tommy can start drinking from a sippy cup llike his friends. During the adventure, Tommy is unsure if he wants to give up his bottle, as he's had it all his life. His friends all share their stories of when they gave up their bottles, but these don't convince him. Tommy eventually gets into a battle with a sea monster (really Stu's octopus-shaped kite), and once he finally gets his bottle back, he realizes he doesn't need it anymore, since he fought off the sea monster without one, and decides to hand it down to his new baby brother.
