Practice Makes Perfect

Of course I want Gracie to be ahead of the curve, but there are few things that we need to catch up on before she starts preschool in a few weeks. One of those tasks is using a cup.

I love sippy cups, they are great for everything and every where; especially since they don't spill. But, it occurred to me that they won't exactly be handing out sippys at preschool. I noticed this problem at Bible School on Saturday when all of the other kids handled their cups of lemonade just fine, and Gracie panicked and begged me to pour hers into her sippy cup. As always I had one packed. But, she had to drink apple juice while the rest got the sweeter lemonade.

This morning I thought it would be a good time to practice (Emma was still down and Gracie wasn't dressed yet). I pulled out what I thought would be the easiest cup to use: the $.50 vintage Disney World mug I got a yard sale.

She did pretty well. I made a big deal about practicing for school and she was happy to try. She spilled very little and has been drinking from it ever since.

Yea Gracie!
