Q likes to run off with SwingDaddy's waterbottles when he returns from bike rides. We always have to grab them back to wipe them down. Then Q takes a swig and asks, "who's bottle is this?" and we reply, "well, it's yours now."

 

MJ always steals the water bottle I take with me to Kung Fu. Don't know what's so exciting about it, but when she finds it all other toys are demoted and the bottle goes clump clump clumping around the house with her every step.

 

I should get a real water bottle some day. Instead, I just refill a regular Poland Spring plastic bottle until it becomes utterly repulsive and/or I accidentally crush it. I'm sure YS would love it.

 

You have a good attitude about germs. People are too nutty about that.

Sorry to be MIA. Just getting better and am now home with a sick kid. So now I've got time to catch up.

 

I got a little grossed out thinking about the water bottle and all the germs on the bikes. I'm not usually germ-o-phobic, but yech.

What is with kids and preferring to play with things that aren't really toys?

 

When my ds was young he loved playing with anything water, and anything that held water, but would shriek and run in the opposite direction if the word "bath" was mentioned. Go figure. Hope you can hold on to this one!

 

You're a better woman than I am, getting up so early to go and spin! I'd loan you some of our bottles, we only have about 20 or so. Having two sons in sports we seem to collect them, or they reproduce in the cabinet, not sure. :) I'm a believer that germs are good for you (well, some are) it's the only way our bodies build up immunity. All that anti-bacterial stuff drives me crazy!
