It is cute and isn't that the truth!
I've already ruined Lexi by introducing her to soda and now when she sees a cup with a straw in it she throws a fit until shes had quite a few sips. What a bad mom I know.

That's not so bad, Amber. Ethan got started on Pepsi when he was really young (Pepsi is Jeff's addiction) and now Ethan won't drink any soda unless it's Pepsi!
