I have not written in some time.  I am so happy to see how much speed BPA free products have taken over the market especially with kids water bottles.  One thing I noticed though is that everyone has the same “kids water bottles”,  Some are different colors but very interchangeable.

 

I am currently taking care of a little boy named Bobby who indeed has what ever other kid has the Grip n’ Grab, his is green.  Recently I was washing “his” water bottle only to discover the nozzle was gnawed on and the initials on the bottom were not on the bottom anymore.  Simple, this was not Bobby’s water bottle but some strangers.  Maybe that is why he is getting sick.

So instead of dwelling on this too much I hastly went for a solution, the stickers to the left are a great way to make that bottle a very personal touch.  I created arts and crafts day and we decorated his bottles along with his sister.  They both got to pick the sticker and put it anywhere they wanted.  Now they will not let each other use the others bottle.  It was fun coloring in the animals and playing with them while creating a bottle that will hopefully stay more cootie free.

 

Solution created.  These stickers are machine washable and very fun but most of all it gives me a sense of security that he is using his own bottle and not sharing germs with other kids.  When he gets sick the work just piles up so if there is anything I can do to reduce sickness I will.  You mothers out there know exactly what I am talking about.  May your journey be as fun as mine.
