Mod sippy finally gets its due
You've heard of Murphy's Law, right? Damned if you do, damned if you don't, and all that happy jazz?
Yeah?
Great.
Then you are already familiar with the story of my life.
See, my peeps over at boon inc., sent over a load of things to review when Buttercup was, well, not totally mobile. So I sent back a nice note thanking them (I think?) and decided to review items as she "grew into" them, so to speak.
So far, so good. I've managed to get a few reviews posted of the boon products I have come to love, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not get Buttercup to do anything other than look at the Fluid No-Spill Toddler Cup.
I figured it just wasn't for her or maybe that she'd fallen in love with her sippy of choice, and didn't want to hurt it's feelings by dumping it for a newer, cooler looking model who also happened to be ergonomic and require less head-tipping due to its mod design and angled spout.
Whatever the reason, Buttercup was not happy with the Fluid.
Which takes me to the multiple requests I have had from readers to review the darned thing. My little Sweetums wanted nothing to do with it. And honestly, it wasn't like she couldn't use it, just that she wasn't cooperating. So that wasn't exactly helping me get a review written.
Fast forward to this past Sunday and my cousin's 11th birthday party. (No. I'm not 15. My family just likes to procreate.) I had decided to bring the Fluid with me and offer it to my 22-month-old nephew. The little charmer took to it immediately and claimed it as his own.
That's when Buttercup decided she suddenly liked the Fluid, and grabbed it back when he wasn't looking. I swear she winked at me as she took her sweet time on her sip o' water from the now pilfered sippy.
In the end, my nephew went home with the Fluid and I decided I'll just buy another one for Buttercup because THEY COME IN PINK AND WHITE NOW! And at $5.99 for a BPA-free sippy, it's not a bad buy.
My only complaints are that the suggested age should probably be raised to 12 months and up because at nine months, I highly doubt a little mouth could manuever the angled, barely-there spout. Buttercup is almost 15 months and just now took interest in it. And yes, the lid is a slight PITA to get off at first, but after a few choice
words and a little breaking in, me and Mr. Fluid got along fine, thank you very much. Leaks are also a slight issue, but then again, I've never met a sippy cup that didn't leak AT ALL when it was being held UPSIDE DOWN.
All in all, I'm pretty impressed. And it only took 6 months to figure that out. Thanks for being patient, boon!

I would love to see the Squirt spoon reviewed. I've been thinking of getting it for my 6 month old, but have been wondering how it works. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would like to see the Catch Bowl, Squirt, or the new Bug Pod reviewed. Especially the first two, as there will be a new member of the family joining us in November (a niece!!) and those would be the things most used here.

I'd love to see a review of the Flo. I've been wanting to get one for my daughter's tub, but it seems like a lot of money to pay unless I'm really going to love it.

Please review the Potty Bench; I find it very intriquing.

Hehe!! I love the potty bench. And at $34.99, I am impressed. I like that there is a place for the toilet paper. My daughter has a potty that someone gave us but it doesn't have a place for toilet paper. She is 18months and has peed on it a couple of times but all in all is not ready to fully potty train yet.
I'd like to see it in pink.

The potty bench would be great to see! Thanks!
akblessingsabound[at]gmail.com
I'd like to hear a review of both the Animal Bags (wouldn't they be lumpy to sit on?) and the Potty Bench (what makes it so great?) because so far Boon makes great products but sometimes it's hard to believe everything a company claims.
Thanks for the giveaway!

The Ladybug Bath Pod is great we have two toy organizers and there's still toys everywhere. Add in the fact that it stores shampoo, and that's a winner. Could you review that? I'd love to know approximately how many toys it will hold! Thanks!

I'm new to these parts so I'm not sure if you've reviewed it, but I'd like to see the oval animal bag reviewed.

Hmmm. I'd like to see a review on the stuffed animal bags. They look like so much fun, but I don't know anyone who has one and it is a lot of money to spend unless I know it is awesome.
Thanks for a good review of the sippy!
