The binki

After two days in a row of having Annadele throwing a fit because we weren't letting her have her binki (after she had gotten out of her crib because it is only for sleeping times), we decided to get ride of it sort of. It is something that needed to happen sooner than later, but it has been a rough couple of weeks since we did it. The second day Mark and I looked at each other, and said lets do it. Maybe a cruel thing to do, especially when we cut the tip off right in front of her. But I let daddy be the mean guy.
The consequence of it has been her sleeping habits and ours for that matter. The first week I think she woke up almost every hour or two, and needed to be held and comforted. I felt like I had a new born again, but at least dad can help out with this. Even her nap time was affected by it. But I am glad to say that I think the roughest part is behind us. Which is good since we will be on vacation next week. Now Annadele just wants to hold her binki. This is fine with me as long as I don't have to try to find it in the middle of the night. She still wakes up sometimes, but I am glad to have my little girl back and not a little monster.
The next new thing will be moving her into Sarah's room, and moving Alex into the crib, but that will have to wait for a couple of weeks. Mexico here we come. We are so excited to be taking a cruise to the Mexican Riviera. I am a little nervous how Annadele and Alex will do, and me for that matter with sea sickness. But hopefully we will have a great time. Need to book a couple of excursions. If nothing else, I know I will be eating good food that I didn't have to cook or do the dishes. Yay!!!
