The binkie has got to go! Day 2 without the plug! Ugghh!
Kes turned two in December. She still has a Binky (which I am totally fine with). The only resolution I made when she turned two was that I wouldn't buy any more binkies. I have stuck with my resolve. However, a few days ago, we lost every single binky Kes owns. Panic! Desperate searching! Thinking about praying about it. Decide, no. It is just going to happen again. Be strong, I tell my self--you can do it. I don't go to the store. I discovered that Kes actually doesn't need a binkie to go to sleep. It was after the nap that she needs it! Now most kids wake up cheerful and ready to go play again. Not so with Kes. She always wakes up grumpy! Not just in the morning but also after nap. Now what she used to do was sit on my lap with a binky for about twenty minutes and then she was ready to face the day again. Now she just wakes up and screams and has one temper tantrum after another because I am not producing a binky for her. So now we are on day two with out a binkie. Will my resolve crumble under the pressure of unrelenting tears? I don't think so. I will be strong. I will move on. I will purchase....earplugs!

I wake up grumpy too. There's also a gene for that Emily. It's the reason I don't take naps. Maybe she will learn to comfort herself in some other way eventually.
ReplyDeleteBe strong! Just remember, you'll have to go through it at some point, might as well be now when you've already got 2 days behind you :) By the way, I'm SO happy you have a blog now! Great job on that!
ReplyDeleteWay to set an example. Carsen turned 2 at the end of Dec, and I can't take it away...I'm afraid he will take the baby's when she comes, and I love my sleep!
