Well, we've received our Sigg bottles, which are now all the rage, seeing as bottle inventory on the Sigg website is vanishing rapidly. I suppose everyone is now in a Bispenol-A-induced frenzy. I must say, despite the annoyance at having to purchase new bottles and child cups, it was very nice to purge my cabinet of Bisphenol-A-laden items. I can't help but wonder about the melamine plates and bowls that are left behind and clearly scream "Made in China."
Anyhoo, I do like my Sigg bottle very much; it is very snazzy. I only wish that the mouth of the bottle was bigger to accommodate normal sized ice cubes. Oh well. The boys seem to like their pirate-themed water bottles too, and quickly figured out the mechanism for opening the sport lids. Their only criticism of the bottles is that they become cold to touch when we add ice water to the bottle. I don't think this will be much of a concern once we hit the 100 degree weather of the Columbia, South Carolina, summer.
To follow up on my earlier post on Bisphenol-A, Zola is not sucking on poison (phew!). Thankfully her Nuk pacifiers seem to be okay. For those interested, good and bad pacifiers are listed on the following sites: Squidoo and Z Recommends. Also, Zoe b sells organic, phthalate, and BPA-free goods, including the Natursutten pacifier, which I think is a little pricey. And, those wonderful folks at Z Recommends have created a guide to safe teethers. Sadly, many of Milo's and Calder's baby toys will be heading for the garbage shortly. I guess they've gotten a lot of use/abuse anyway. That's all for this afternoon until I get the urge to rant about phthalates.
