Kids
Sometime during the baby’s week-long stomach flu she seems to have weaned herself. She’s been politely turning down offers of nursing with a quiet “No.” for the past week and a half. I guess most people would say congratulations, but honestly I’m pretty sad about it. Not only was it a nice quiet time to bond, but it was a sure fire way to put her to sleep at night, or put her back to sleep in the middle of the night if she woke up. She’s also been sleeping in her bed more often, without waking up and crying to get into bed with us. I think she’s really attached to the quilt that I made for her which is nice; at least I have a hug wrapped around her in proxy while she sleeps. It’s amazing how quickly they grow up.
On the other hand the three year old still refuses to sleep without a pacifier, and now I’m refusing to nap with her when she has it because it’s so fricking noisy. I’ve tried poking holes in them, which didn’t faze her a bit. Anyone have any suggestions on 1) de-pacifiering and 2) potty training a three year old?
