This is pretty hard evidence that my housekeeping habits may leave a lot to be desired. I have a cleaning lady that comes every other week and I pick up and do light cleaning in between. (I use the term "light cleaning" loosely here). Apparently, though, some things must go unnoticed during my light cleanings. I was sitting on the couch flipping channels and David was playing in on the floor. I did not notice where he got the sippy cup from but I watched as he took a drink from it. The look on his face after swallowing his big gulp said it all. It was clear that whatever substance was inside the cup was not fresh.About 20-30 minutes later, I see David drinking from another sippy cup. Again, being unsure as to where he got the cup, this time I stopped him before he got cup to lips. I didn't even have to open the lid to know we had another "liquid surprise" on our hands. This time it was apple juice. Correction, I think after the fermentation it was apple wine.
My guess is that milk and juice were at least 3-5 days old. I just went ahead and threw both cups away. I don't think there would be enough soap to get those clean. I may need to start cleaning on my hands and knees or employ a midget housekeeper. `

I have been there. I am glad my youngest is off the bottle now- we have found some really fun surprises in those bottles. Some weeks old. I just used those times as teaching moments- the kids about fermentation or mold- for me- to look under the beds when I clean.
