I had been talking to Carter about we needed to toss his sippy cups. Each time it turned into a heated discussion and to be quite honest rather then pressing the issue I just let it go. He'll get rid of them when he's ready, right? So, with his birthday right around the corner I brought up tossing the cups. He looked at me and with excitement he said, "Sure mom! Let's toss 'em!" So, I found a big bag, put him up on the counter and one by one he tossed each one of them away.
Yes I know what some of you are thinking. Three year old still drinking from a sippy cup? Yes, he was. He can drink perfectly fine out of a regular cup, but I was avoiding spills all over our carpet and less clean up for myself. There, I said it... I'm lazy! :) But not anymore, now we must just endure the fact that Kool-Aid, chocolate milk, or tea could end up on the floors. Nothing a little Resolve can't take out is it?!
Watching him toss those cups, another clear indication I don't have a baby Carter anymore. I am not really sure why but turning four is a little hard for me. It's that I'm not a baby anymore stage, I'm a big boy. Quite frankly, I'd like to keep him little but I haven't quite figured out how to make time stand still yet, so... to heck with that idea.
So if you come to visit us, hope you are drinking out of a cup otherwise you'll be sipping from Tucker's bottles! :0
