His Favorite Drink


We were coming home from the playground, walking up a hill,
his little legs trying so hard to keep up while holding my hand.

We talked about having a snack when we get home. 
Oh, he liked the idea, "I want to have some apple juice,"
he said it like it was the most delicious, juiciest drink ever!
Then he added . . . "With no lid."

I smiled . . . because it's at Grammy's house
where they all get introduced to cups with no lids . . .
and they can do it!
 I just did not realize it was special.

Mom, you would be happy to know that at meal times our kids now drink from cups with no lids! More spills though. :( And we save the sippy cups for outings! :)

Isn't it funny to see all us grown ups sucking on sports bottle as we tear about outside? Maybe we gave up our lids and sippy cups too soon!

It's always interesting what they get away with at Grandma's house.
Here's me and my daughter enjoying zippy cups..reminding us of something we never had, while the young ones want to grow beyond their zippy cups.
It's fun to see what they get away with at Grammy's house.

Just a little something from Judy said...

I can't believe I read this in your post, because that is something they find special that they get to do here also, drink out of cups with no lids. And, I have the same cups you have pictured. It's the little things in life that mean the most.
