Do your kids drink juice boxes? Mine do. I buy them out of pure laziness. It is easier for me to say “Go grab a juice box” then to actually venture into the kitchen and pour a glass of juice. Now, don’t think my kids drink these all the time. They get to have 1 a day. But, I’m starting to wonder if more of the juice ends up on my carpets than actually in their stomachs…
Do your kids drink juice boxes??
I have a 6 month old, and just like you said, he’d gently stroke it just a couple months ago. Now, I see stars once he grabs a chunk and forcefully brings it to his face to examine it close up. I know he’s not doing it to hurt me, he’s too young to know that, but I know I’ll have a habit to break soon lol.
I know! Good luck breaking the habit. I need tips if you can break him of it!
We don’t do juice boxes but there is a strict rule in our house anyway – any drink containing sugar must stay in the kitchen where there is no carpet (except me, my coffee in allowed because *I* am the maid, plus I don’t spill)!! Thank goodness my husband doesn’t take sugar in his coffee because he is the worst for spilling things and I can’t tell HIM to stay in the kitchen!
That’s a good rule!
Aaaah. That picture brings back memories. I kind of hate juice boxes. We get them for outside only. If they want to drink something in another room, it’s sippy cup only…or water only. : )
That’s a good policy!
Story of my life!!!
Glad I’m not the only one!
Not at the moment, but…..so funny, as always!!!
Thanks!! Have a good weekend!
Mine gets one of the new capri suns, a serving of fruit and veggies in it, but tastes like capri sun! She loves them. She gets about 3-4 a week.
My kids like those too!
I haven’t bought juiceboxes since my daughter went on miralax. She has to have juice one a day to take her medicine-since you can’t put the powder in that little hole I don’t buy them! We have had juiceboxes at the grandparents house though. You can tell my kids are juicebox novices-it’s always the same thing-they take it just as I say “DON’T squeeze…” and before I can get the words out one of them has squeezed it and juice comes out of the straw like a geyster! MESS!
Why do they always squeeze it??? Mine do!
I just think they want to get their hot little hands around so they can down it in a hurry and also so no one will snatch the goods! Therefore they accidentally squeeze it!
Good point!
I love juice boxes, but they can be messy. They are special treats when we happen to be out around meal/snack time. Thankfully my 4 year old learned how to drink without spilling. My 2 year old is still working on it. My car occasionally smells like apple vinegar, especially on hot days.
Ha Ha! Mine too!
