When it rains, it pours

Everything in our house is breaking!!! OK...that's an exaggeration, but we have had several things start going wonky on us. The garage door will not close unless you hold the inside button down until it is completely closed. This means every time I leave, I have to pull the car out and then get out go in and shut it. Annoying!! also, our shower door broke. One of the hinges snapped. Who knew shower doors could be so costly! Our truck is starting to fall apart, too. Nothing major at this point, but small little things that are adding up. We need at minimum 6 more months out of it! There are several other small things acting up as well. Ugh! all those small things add up. I guess that's what an emergency fund is for!

First day of Preschool

Last Wednesday was Ava's first day of preschool! She loves her teacher and was super excited to find out her friend from last year, Alyson, was in her class. I was afraid she would cry and make a big scene at drop as she's known to be emotional. :) She walked right into the classroom and sat down at her seat. Didn't even fuss! She has now completed 3 days and still loves it. Mom loves the 3 mornings a week with only 1 kid too!

Sippy vs. glass

OK moms, here's a question for you. At what age do you give up the sippy cup and move onto using a regular glass? Ava can drink from a regular glass/cup, but primarily for my sake, I have just continued to use a sippy. I'm wondering what everyone's opinion is on the matter.

I did come across these cups that have a silicone exterior to help prevent slipping. I thought that these might be useful. What do you think? Worth $8 a glass or should I just use a regular kids cup? Val's View blog did a review of these and is giving one away. She seemed to think these were a good product. I see what you have to say...maybe I'll have to try one.
