Paper cups crush very easily, and toddlers have surprisingly strong grips.  I&#8217;m just saying.  Because if you don&#8217;t you may find yourself buying pajamas at the nearest kids store so that the toddler in question, who is now completely soaked, doesn&#8217;t freeze to death in the bitter winter weather.  (This warning doesn&#8217;t apply to you if you&#8217;re one of those super-organized moms who actually carry a change of clothes everywhere.)<\/p>\n<p>Today we went to look for a new pair of shoes for Carrie at the Stride Rite outlet that&#8217;s a half-hour away from here.  Unfortunately, they only had a couple of styles that even came in the size we needed and they didn&#8217;t fit her correctly.  I&#8217;d say the whole trip was a disaster except that we bought three gifts, some 24 month onesies that actually aren&#8217;t white, and exchanged some things Carrie had gotten for Christmas for bigger sizes.  I do so love the Carter&#8217;s outlet!<\/p>\n<p>And here are the pajamas we had to buy, along with my silly monkey who thinks this is what one should do when instructed to &#8220;smile for the camera&#8221;.  At least they&#8217;re really cute pajamas.  (They&#8217;re Little Me brand in case anyone cares.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you&#8217;re eating out with your toddler who is used to hard plastic straw cups, it might be a good thing to keep a paper cup out of grabbing reach &#8211; even if it&#8217;s just water and has one of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-carolyn"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1298\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
