Saying goodbye

I need sleep. It's been 5 months now, and I'm ready to start sleeping through the night again. Unfortunately, my sweet baby is a little used to her night-time friend, the Pacifier. Sunday night was not good, neither were the previous 3-4 nights, so monday morning, I decided it was time. We are saying goodbye to our plug, and hopefully hello to some much needed sleep. She has been crying herself to sleep, but she's taking SUCH better naps! Last night she still woke up three times, but hopefully in the next night or two she'll at least go down to just once.


Well, when I decided my 5 month old could do without the paci, it seemed a little weird to let my 2 year old keep hers, so she's lost it as well. I'll say that I think she's doing alright, I thought it would be worse. She didn't take a nap yesterday cause she kept crying and coming out of her room, but she slept great last night and had a good nap today. I will say, if I had to do it over, I would do it when she was in the crib, cause then they can just cry themselves to sleep and not get out. All-in-all, it's going well, we've just been a little home bound. I'm scared to take Lexie out when she can't sooth herself really well yet, too much screaming.
Since we're homebound, we're potty training too...not going to great. Yesterday she went three times in the toilet! yeah! Today, none, and two poops....this is so much fun! oh well, It's alot all at once, but we seem to be managing. So, in case you hadn't seen me lately, that's where I've been, up to my elbows in bodily waste, and dealing with some pretty upset girls (although it's getting better with every nap!)

WOW! That is brave...potty training and 2 kids losing the pacifier!! Have you gone mad yet?! Good luck!! We had a couple who didn't take the paci, but the ones who did were addicted! No-actually I was addicted...it is hard to let them cry it out, but I'm sure you know, it gets better. :)

Wow, getting it all done at once! I'm too scared to take Ashton's paci away and I'm absolutely terrified of making Kenna give it up!! Was Peyton really attatched? *sigh* Well, congratulations and good luck!

Hey April Hailey still has her binkie and it scares the crap out of me to get rid of it. Now the Megan has one too, so I pretty much screwed myself when I didn't chuck it earlier! Your girls are all soo CUTE! Happy thanksgiving!!

You are one brave girl! Maybe you can pass some of that "braveness" on to me. :) Savannah no longer has paci's (she gave them up on her own, so I got off easy on that), but Kylie oh my that is going to be very interesting taking hers away. I have been preping her though. :) And potty training... dreading it and stalling that one too. I am giving myself until Jan and then no more stalling!! Wish me luck. :) Any tips I will gladly take!!
