Ever have a great idea that you were really excited about and had someone rain on your parade?
Behold, the great idea: Tomato soup in a sippy cup! Avoids the mess that usually follows a meal involving liquids and saves the forty pounds of crackers I have to crush into the soup to keep it at a consistency that the baby can manage to spoon up.
The response to my resourcefulness?
If you can’t tell, this is Kieran telling me to shove my ingenuity where the sun don’t shine.
I don’t know if it was the fact that he saw me pour soup into the cup that is normally used for water and that he wanted water, or if he was just so upset by how very, very wrong the whole ordeal was. Soup must be eaten out of a bowl! The violation of the water cup! is! unacceptable! Contemptible! An abomination! What other response can there be but weeping and gnashing of teeth?

I thought it was ingenius; I guess one year olds are wiser than us.

LOL!!! so funny. But I kind of don’t blame him, can the soup fit through the sippy cup holes? (can you tell I have no kids and haven’t seen a sippy cup since I baby-sat several years ago) Oh AND, soup tastes waaaaay better with crackers, so again I don’t blame him. It’s nice to see he has soo many teeth.

The holes in this particular sippy cup were plenty large enough to get soup through (I tried). I hear you about the crackers but you have no idea the hella big mess he makes every time he eats soup.
Lots of teeth? Check. Sleepless nights? Check. He’s gotten three new teeth in the past three weeks that obviously aren’t visible yet but have broken the gums.
