Big Girl

When Eliot was a baby, we had two sippy cups that he used regularly until he was about Ivy's age, when we transitioned him to an open cup. 

Being the frugal people that we are (haha), I saved those sippy cups and planned to reuse them with Ivy.  When Ivy was six months old, I got them out of the cave only... the spouts appeared to have mold growing in them.  And although the dishwasher probably would have killed it, I just couldn't bear the idea.  And I couldn't bear the idea of buying her new ones either.  And so she's been drinking from an open cup since six months old, like a pro.  Recently, she even has full-time access to her own cup of water, and only manages to knock it over about once a day or so.

And then, today, she just climbed up on Eliot's booster chair and claimed it in the name of Ivyland.  Eliot moved to a grown-up chair, and the high chair goes to the Cave!  Yes!  One less piece of clutter in the house.  I do need to raise the seat slightly so her chin isn't in her plate...

 
And this is what Ivy looked like when she say DADA come through the door this evening.
