As for my "motherhood" issues lately - weaning to a cup, sippy, anything. I don't know what to do, but it's driving me crazy. Alex has no interest in taking any type of liquid out of sippy. We've tried many different kinds with no luck. I even gave him VERY diluted juice in the hopes that would work, but nope. He just looks at me and spits it all out. We do have some success with a regular cup, but it's very slow and he doesn't get a whole lot.
I've heard some good things about the Rubbermaid drink containers. Or another type of sippy cup with a straw. I'm going to pick each of those up while we're away in Nova Scotia and try them when we get back home.
I don't know what we'll do as my husband starts watching Alex when I go back to work. The poor boys will be left to battle it out!

Summer Part II
Our summertime fun continues despite the miserable weather.
Alex and I went to Harvey yesterday to see a family friend's baby. She is about three weeks older than him.We had a good time, even though spending four hours in a car with a 10 1/2 month old is not my idea of fun. Alex received his first kiss, so it was all worthwhile for him!
We went to Moncton last week with intentions of going to the zoo, but it was raining out so hard that all we did was go shopping. I even packed a picnic lunch, which we enjoyed in the shopping mall parking lot. We'll have to save the zoo for another day!
We're going to Truro on Thursday morning and coming home on Sunday. I'm very excited to get out and see my family. We'd like to go to Halifax to see the buskers if we ever see some sun! If not, more shopping will definitely be in order.
My neices are very worried that we won't make it to Shediac this year, but my nephew doesn't say much. We'll have just about two weeks before school starts, so hopefully we squeeze our annual trip to Parlee in.
I hope that everyone else is having a good summer and that you get to do everything you want to!
