One day, a toddler named Sally was playing in the living room with her new sippy cup. She was so excited to use it that she couldn't wait to take a sip.
Sally took a big sip of her juice and then, disaster struck! The sippy cup lid flew off and juice went everywhere. Sally's face was covered in juice, as was the floor, the couch, and even the ceiling.
Sally's parents rushed in to see what was going on. They were shocked to see the mess and then they started laughing. They helped Sally clean up the mess and then they gave her a new sippy cup.
What we learn: Sippy cups can be messy, but they are also a lot of fun. It is important to be patient with your baby as they learn to use a sippy cup.
One day, a toddler named Billy was playing in the kitchen with his new sippy cup. He was so proud of his new cup and he couldn't wait to show it to his friends.
Billy took his sippy cup outside and showed it to his friends. His friends were impressed and they wanted to try it out. Billy let them take turns taking sips of his juice.
But then, one of Billy's friends ran off with his sippy cup! Billy was heartbroken. He ran after his friend, but he couldn't catch him.
Billy's parents helped him look for his sippy cup, but they couldn't find it anywhere. Billy was so sad.
The next day, Billy was playing in the backyard when he saw something shiny in the grass. He picked it up and it was his sippy cup! Billy was so happy that he had found his cup.
What we learn: It is important to be mindful of your belongings, especially when you are in a public place. If your child's sippy cup is stolen, don't give up hope. You may be able to find it later.
One day, a toddler named Lily was playing in the park with her new sippy cup. She was having so much fun that she didn't notice that she was getting close to the edge of the sandbox.
Lily tripped and fell into the sandbox. Her sippy cup flew out of her hand and landed in the sand. Lily started to cry.
But then, a superhero appeared! The superhero was a big, strong man with a cape and a mask. The superhero picked up Lily's sippy cup and handed it to her.
Lily was so happy that she had found her cup. She thanked the superhero and then she went back to playing in the sandbox.
What we learn: There are superheroes all around us. They may not always wear capes and masks, but they are always there to help us when we need them.
