…he’ll learn to drink from a straw!
Recently, I splurged on a copy of If You Give A Mouse A Cookie for Liam. It’s one of my favorite children’s books and I knew that it would be perfect for him, so I treated myself during a recent trip to Barnes and Noble.
The first unintended consequence was a sudden and immediate thirst for milk as soon as the mouse wanted a glass of milk.
The second was a burning desire to color as soon as the mouse broke out his crayons.
Tonight was the coup de grace of unintended consequences. You see, I’ve been trying to get Liam to drink from a straw for the past 9 months. The mouse drinks from a straw so Matt suggested giving it another shot in the context of the book. He cut off a bendy straw (less distance for the water to travel — that husband of mine is some kind of smart). He referenced the beloved book. Liam drank from a straw. And drank, and drank, and drank. He finished an entire glass of water and went back for more.
We’re okay until Liam realizes that the mouse gives himself a haircut…
Do you have a copy of “If you give a Pig a Potty? Maybe that is all it takes.
If that’s all it takes I will write that book myself.
