Lollacup

Am I becoming the kind of parent that sees a product for his kid and HAS to have it?  I don't even do that for myself.  If I see an item being advertised that is really cool I will make every excuse in the book of why I don't need to buy it. 

I guess those rules do not apply to items for my boy.  I just purchased TWO $18 sippy cups.  The kid is only 2 1/2 months old.  HE WON'T BE DRINKING OUT OF A CUP FOR A LONG TIME.  But he is set when he decides to take up that art. 

I first heard of the cup while watching one of my favorite shows, Shark Tank.  In that show, entrepreneurs take their product / idea to a 5 person panel of millionnaires / billionnaires to try to sell them a % of their business in exchange for capital and their partnership to make their product a success. 

Here is a youtube clip of the show when the inventors of Lollacup were on it.

My 2 lollacups came in the mail today and I can't wait for The Dude to start drinking out of them.

I'll try harder not to be a complete pushover.....except when it comes to sippy cups.
