Hi all,
DS 8 is the clumsiest child you have ever met-(he’s constantly tripping over his own feet). He also has an extremely annoying habit of knocking over glasses at the table. For some reason he’s gotten much worse at it in the past few months. Its gotten to the point now where hes knocking over his drink at least every other meal. We got him some really heavy- bottomed cups that in theory shouldnt be able to topple - but he finds a way to knock it over. Its really disruptive because it goes everywhere and over everything so almost every meal time im having to clear up a mess half way through dinner. We use a table cloth to protect the table but the carpet normally gets a soaking.
Anyway we having a new cream-ish carpet tomorrow and imdreading the enevitable first spill on it. We had to replace as it was incredibly worn. Me and DH are thinking of using a sippy cup at the table for him to protect the carpets. Hes had them before at relatives with new sofas and been fine with it. I don’t want to upset him but equally he already gets upset at spilling every meal so think he might even prefer a sippy.
