Passing on childhood memories

Take a look at this adorable cup.


It's dark green, has realistic features, his tail is a straw, he is dark green, and a little beaten up. And in the case of how many memories this cup holds, it's absolutely perfect.

This dinosaur cup isn't just your regular sippy cup. It's a sippy cup from Brad's childhood.

When Brad's Mom took this cup out from WAY back of her cupboard, I think my jaw just about fell. I'm going to be honest, when she took it out, I was thinking "what the hell...". I wasn't weirded out that she kept it (some people just like to hold onto special items), I was weirded out that she didn't ever pack it away! But after the shock of it all, I came to realize just how adorable this cup really is. It's something special that Brad has good memories of and was happy to pass this along to Zander.

With that being said, Zander has been drinking out of this dinosaur sippy cup for about 2 weeks. It's a cup that stays at Grandma and Grandpa's and he really loves it. He loves the shape, the colour, and he gets a big kick out of the fact that his head turns and pops off.

Now, take a look at this adorable cup!



Zander's Auntie and Uncle were out shopping a few days ago, and just so happened to stumble upon this! She found it in a place where it was all alone and needed someone to to love him and drink from him, so she bought it for her favourite Nephew ever!

I think it's so cool that now Zander can have a dinosaur cup of his own and that it will always have a special meaning to it because his Daddy had one just like it!


Don't they look so cute together?!


What childhood items will you pass on to your kids?
