At age 3.4 lil sis is one sharp cookie!
She is also curious and full of pure joy!
Lots of things are different for her due to her birth order...some of these are good and some not so much. One of the not so much's is her paci. We fully intended for it to be gone by 3 as we were adviced for brother. Well three passed and we had confined it to the bed but she was still using it to fall asleep and sleep very well!! Then football season began, then school and well it just became nice to have it in the van for her to catch a nap on the go! Then in September I relied on the dentist to push us to get rid of it but he didn't...so we prolonged this habit. Did I mention how well she napped with it? During these last few months we had been talking to her about getting rid of it but she showed zero interest! Then today she just told me she was ready to get rid of them. As previously mentioned she's sharp and had remembered a promise of a Target trip if she did this.
So after gymnastics we went to Target and she picked out the babies she had at the top of her Christmas list! Oh boy was she excited! These babies helped keep us busy during naptime and tire her out really good before bedtime. Once bedtime came she did cry some but honestly it wasn't as bad as I predicted. It wass pitiful but tolerable! Then the 5 AM wake up came and was not as tolerable at all! On day 2 she fell asleep in the van (with her hand in her snack bag) right afterschool due to the 5 AM wake up. She did not transfer to her bed but 45 minutes in the van seemed perfect. When bed time rolled around she asked for it and fussed a bit but went on to sleep and has been normal since!
As I am typing this its day 3 and she didn't mention the paci one time today!
Impressive for her but the transition to no naps might be too much for me!!
