I used to have a water bottle with a sports top. My daughter always wanted a sip of my water so I could easily just squirt a bit into her mouth with this type of top. Well… eventually she figured out how to use it and would get water ALL over the place. I wasn’t very keen on cleaning up water everywhere… especially not when it was on the carpet.
I purchased a new fancy water bottle by Contigo. I LOVE it!!! It has a neat system that makes it impossible to spill or have dribbles of water come out. You have to press a button on the size to release a valve to be able to get any water. I thought it was perfect because my daughter wouldn’t be able to figure it out and if she got a hold of the bottle on her own I wouldn’t have a big puddle to clean up.
Well… the day has finally come where she has figured it out. darn! I did get a good solid 10 months out of it though. I can’t help that my daughter is growing up and can figure it out now I suppose. I just have to keep it out of her reach unless I want to go back to puddle clean ups. She’s already made a few and even doused herself in the process.
