Bad News Sippy Cup

While part of our absence has been due to Princess Teacup's ever increasing list of daily demands, transitions into new jobs and good old fashioned procrastination, we have been keeping busy.

How you might ask?

Well, here's a hint:

Needless to say...it's been a fun couple of months...

Jiminy Sippy Cup

Me (pointing enthusiastically): "Dude, check it out, there's a wishing well in the front yard of that house!"

Sippy Cup (unimpressed): "Yeah. I saw it the other day when I came home from school."

Me: "Do you know what you can do with a wishing well?"

Sippy Cup: "Yeah. You take a coin, drop it in the well and then you make a wish."

Me: "What would you wish for?"

Sippy Cup (stopping to think): "A star."

Me: "You'd wish for a star?  Why?"

Sippy Cup: "A shooting star.  So that I could make more wishes whenever I wanted."

Me (sighing): "Oh.  Of course."

Dinner Reservations

Me (enjoying dinner and casually taking a sip of my father's soda)

Sippy Cup (with a face of pure shock and shouting): "Dad! No! Don't drink that! It's full of sugar!"

Me (pointing to his small glass of Iced Tea): "Chill out, Bloomberg.  What do you think that is?"

Sippy Cup (pointing to his glass): "This?"

Me: "Yes."

Sippy Cup (taking a long gulp of Iced Tea and then wiping his mouth): 

"This? This is delicious.  That's what it is."

Happy 5th Birthday Sippy Cup

In spite of all of my supposed eloquence, on days like today, I realize that I will never have the right words to express just how much I love my son.

My only hope is that these random ramblings that I have posted throughout the past few years will serve as a field guide for him when the time comes.

Happy Birthday little dude...
