"Sophie, Use Your Hands."

This is a phrase you can hear coming from my mouth almost daily. Oh the inner conflict I have with sippy cups.


One one hand, they're SOOOO convenient. Spills are nearly non-existent, and the travelability of one is a lifesaver at times.

On the other hand, she's 2, and can obviously use a cup if she wants to. But regular cups almost always mean extra baths and an extra change of clothes after lunch. And, as you can see, I'm worried about what a sippy will do to her teeth (that she didn't already do to herself at 13 months when she chipped both front teeth in separate falling accidents).


p.s. Another fun thing about this picture - Sophie loves pockets.
