This weekend was exciting.
We officially threw away all the bottles. Yes, we have been basically done using them for a while now, but in the morning Tim gets up early with Levi and up until about a month ago he was still enjoying a bottle while all the rest of us were still sleeping. It really wasn’t necessary, but it was convenient and it kept him occupied and QUIET. But Tim decided it was time to move him on and up. So, up and away he went! His morning bottle has been out of circulation for about a month now, so we finally tossed all the bottles in the cupboard. And let me tell you, it felt good! No more washing bottles! Whoo hoo!
And in other monumental news: We also took away Maddie’s nuk! Well, actually, after a particularly bad night (of having to get up multiple times to give kids nuks) I decided we needed to be done. And upon inspection, I discovered that the nuk was actually already starting to break, so I just enlarged the hole so it would be unusable. We then proceeded to prep her “Maddie is a big girl and doesn’t need any more nuks. Are you a big girl? Do you need a nuk? No! Yay!” And wouldn’t you know, it was almost a seamless transition! There wasn’t a huge breakdown like I thought there would be. She asked for her nuk and I reminded her that it was broken and yucky, and that was that! If I had known it would be that easy, I would have done it months ago! (Well, it probably wouldn’t have been that easy then. Ha!)
The Littles are growing up!
Yes, they are growing up! Such an exciting time!
