Bigger Girls Have Less Vices

It's a week of change in our house, and it seems it may actually be harder on me that the girls!

We started the week off when Jason dropped Payton off at school to learn that she's been moved to the next classroom up, and that in the 3 year old classroom Kitty is no longer welcome for nap time. I worried and worried all day. I even went as far as to call and complain that we weren't given any notice and I thought it was really wrong to not give us the weekend to prepare her. It seems I was the only one bothered. She came home from school at the end of the day never even mentioning it. Two days later when I went to pick her up she came running to me proudly exclaiming that Kitty isn't here, he dones't come to school anymore. I guess we're over that.

Since Payton's weaning went so well, I've decided it's time to wean myself, I mean Parker, from the paci. See, we're both addicts, probably me more than her. In theory she gets the paci for bed and car rides only. But, then she also gets it at the gym, and if Mommy needs to make a call, or she's finds it, or we're out and about and she's being loud, or we're in the office, or Daddy needs to make a call...you get the point. A few weeks ago she was at Jill's for the evening and Jill put her to bed without even thinking of it, and she was fine. So last night I decided we'd quit cold turkey. I put her to bed without it, and listened to her fuss and play for almost an hour. Eventually she went to sleep and I thought, that was easy, a little noise in the moniter no big deal. So today we loaded up in the car to head to the gym, it was a long 10 minute ride, but ok. The gym she was fine I was told. Then came the long trip to run some errands - about and hour of her fussing, yelling and exhausted in the back seat, man I really needed that paci. So we finally got home and headed up for a nap. She usually falls asleep right away, this nap took 15 minutes for her to fall asleep, and then only lasted 45 minutes. I've been told that this will only take a few days, and I hope so or I may not make it!
