We had the Take and Toss ones, and they hardly ever spilled and worked well. Also, the Rubbermaid straw boxes are also good, and it was the first one DD really took to. Apparently BF kids have a lot more success than with any other...

Sending your little guy healing vibes, and you strength to deal with it all...

I could have written your post at that age. My DD is 2.5 now and she now knows that we only watch a DVD at breakfast time. I tell her to say goodbye to the characters after I have paused the DVD and she can still see the characters, and...
