Too Many Sippies! (Day 11)

Before Levi was born, I had this dream. A dream that he would use the Take n Toss sippy cups - the only ones that stack together nicely and take up very little room.

Of course, once we introduced the sippies, I learned that it was not to be.  We tried several kinds of sippies, hard spouts, soft spouts, straws....finally he decided he'd accept the Munchkin Mighty Grips sippies.

Which are now discontinued.  Or at least not available at any stores near us.  Sigh.

I've gotten him to the point where he'll drink juice out of the Take n Toss, but he only drinks milk if it's in the Mighty Grips.

Of course, this means I have a cabinet full of rejected sippy cups, plastic dishes, and unmatched tupperware.  It can't be babyproofed (well, not with my sophisticated hair-tie system), so it's Levi's favorite cabinet.  He loves to "help" in the kitchen, surrounded by rejected sippies.

In my fancy bag-counting system, 2 Target bags = 1 garbage bag, and the sippies only filled one Target bag, so I scoured the rest of the kitchen and filled a second bag with odds and ends.  A couple of extra spatulas.  An extra can opener (my excuse for keeping it before: "what if I lose one?").  And my second tea kettle.  Again, I have no idea why I thought I needed two tea kettles.  The one I'm keeping looks like a cat, so I'm in good shape.

Of course, to get some of the kitchen stuff, I had to stand on a chair.  Which apparently taught Mr. Toddler to do the same.
