The dinner hour is usually chaotic in my house, but tonight I was trying to multitask even more than usual. Pizza in the oven, I was on a phone call, while pouring ‘Lil Boo his Batman cup of milk.

I’ve pretty much phased out sippy cups, but Boo has had a rash of major spills lately. Tonight really took the cake, as he dropped the full cup from about his shoulder level, sending a geyser of milk all the way up to the ceiling, splattering the entire island (which of course had the mail on it) and worst of all, leaving him with a large amount of milk dripping off of his hair and running down his face.

His lower lip popped out, and the siren began to wail. I abruptly ended my phone call and tried to comfort him. He just started to simmer down when he noticed the bottom of his beloved Batman cup was broken out.

Siren, round two!

I soothed him by letting him have his milk in his favorite “spooky” Halloween goblet, but based on the recent episodes, I came up with a new way to create a “lid” for almost any cup!

A lid in a pinch!

All you need: Saran Wrap and a straw. Tightly cover the glass. Don’t be stingy with the plastic wrap. Once you have a tight seal, pop a straw through. There’s your lid!
