Necessity is the Mother of all Invention

Elise is going to kill me when she reads this blog....... :)

Sam has this little plastic contraption aptly called "The Snack Trap". It is a plastic cup with a lid that has slits cut into it so that he is able to reach in for O's or Goldfish (oh yeah, and raisins and other healthy snacks, too), but not spill them everywhere (not spill them, that is, until he learned to hold down on of the flaps in the top with one hand while holding the cup upside down with the other).

We take the snack trap with us when we go to Bucky's or a ride in the car. It has become especially useful in tiding Sam over on our morning run. Until he pitches the cup from the stroller like he did the other morning and I ran over it cracking it in two.

I'm supposed to go to Toys R Us to buy a new one, but hadn't made it there yet and couldn't find the cracked snack trap (I think Elise threw it away), so I cleverly crafted a new one. Now everyone thinks we let our baby snack on salted almonds all day long!
