A Day in The Life of The Infamous Pink Cup

Audrey has always gone through phases of being obsessed with certain small objects. When she was 9 months old it was a packet of buttons (she couldn't open it). When she was 12 months old it was a stuffed bear. 2 months ago it was my collapsible measuring cups. And there have been others that I can't remember now. Usually she latches onto the object and carries it everywhere for a few days before losing interest. But this time she has decided to hold onto her object for a bit longer. This pink cup has been everywhere with us the last few weeks. And I mean EVERYWHERE. To give you an idea of what this looks like, here's an example of "in the day of the life of Audrey's cup."
