Dee, the reason blankie has to go is because Claire instictively now sucks her finger the second she gets a hold of the corners of her blankie. So without the blankie, I'm hoping she won't suck her fingers. However, like a little addict gone three days without her blankie, she found the corner of the towel which was wrapped around my head as I dressed her yesterday morning, and she grabbed it, then popped her fingers in her mouth! Yikes. Now she's open to any corner on any material! Glad I've started the yucky finger stuff.
The bottle is back now because it was too sad listening to her cry at night. I figured get the blankie/finger habit to stop which is the main goal, and I can ditch the bottles again later. Those are easy to lose in comparison.
Ashley has her contraption in now. She, like always, impresses me with her attitude and willingness to endure annoying things. She slept well last night, and despite talking and eating being almost impossible, is pleasant. Yay!
In other big news, we got Claire a big girl potty today and she has, on her own, gathered all of her dollies to show them how to use it. Like a real two-year-old girl (almost) she has been chattering and playing with her imagination and those dollies and potty all afternoon! Talk about adorable.
She has also colored all over her body with Jake's Mr. Smelly markers and locked herself into the bathroom a few times (found the lock button). Its been a good day.
