Drew gets a new sippy cup for his 14th birthday…
Today, my oldest son will turn 14 and we thought that sippy cups were a thing of the past for us. Even his 2 and a half year old nephew says he gets a “big boy” cup. However, with the increasingly electric world that seems to surround us, the thought of an “open cup” is a disaster most of the time. In fact, we have a “covered cup policy” when anywhere outside of the kitchen. There is the Macintosh for video editing and the amazing creations meant for Garage Band. Both boys have computers and I am pretty mobile with my laptop for the freelance kind of life. Spills can spell true disaster for any of us, even if it is a keyboard or mouse.
With all this in mind, my mother, affectionately called “Ditdo”, set out last week to find the oldest a really cool Tervis Tumbler with the UGA Bulldogs on it. This quest led to a discussion of those covers with the accordion straws vs the coffee type sipper on it. We determined that, after years of trying to wash those accordion straws, that it was much cleaner to go with the coffee type cover. What this really boiled down to was that we had just gotten him a giant sized, no-sweat sippy cup. Having a Georgia Bulldog on it was just a perk that made it palatable for a teenager…
Now that you have thought about it…what’s on YOUR sippy cup? Better yet…what’s IN your sippy cup?
