thirsty?

thanks to our friends over at feel fun kids, alex has fallen in love with these nalgene "sippy" cups.

HOWEVER ... this is not your ordinary sippy cup.

tonight while cleaning up from dinner i turned on the garbage disposal. immediately i heard that familiar "something fell down here that shouldn't have" noise. i thought nothing of it and let it go, figuring it was just a piece of chicken. after a minute or so, the noise was not getting any better so stacey came to the rescue. (he's willing to sink dive - and i'm not :))

lo and behold ... he pulled out the little rubber piece that makes these cups spill proof. AND GET THIS ... after almost a minute in our garbage disposal that little piece was not even knicked!!

i've always heard that nalgene cups are indestructable - that you can run them over with a car and they won't crack. tonight i am certain this is true! i have ruined metal spoons ... plastic kiddy spoons ... you name it ... down that garbage disposal. but alex's beloved sippy cup valve held strong.

this cup gets 5 stars from this crazy's house - it is worth every penny!!!
(AND ... LUCKY FOR YOU ... if you head over to FFK to find them, elizabeth says to enter the code SALE10 to get 10% off ... and remember ... they come in pink too :))
