An update...

I know it's been a few days since i've posted, but this house has been under quarantine.
As i said previously, Mady was sick over the holidays.
Well, she started feeling better, but only because she passed her germs on to Frank and I!
We have been sick all week, and we're finally feeling human again.
So needless to say, it's been a long week for the Stiffies.

On a different note, i think we had a break through last night.
Mady went to sleep without her binky!
No fighting, no crying, nothing!
I couldn't find where it was, so i simply said to her "Big girls sleep without binkies. Do you want to be a big girl?" and she said "Yea!", so i said "Ok, then you need to sleep without your binky. Cna you do that?" and she (amazingly) said "Yea!" and fell right asleep!! It was amazing, wonderful and just what i wanted.
We were going to try to make the switch tomorrow night anyways, so this makes it much easier.
Now hopefully we can keep this up...especially when the new baby gets here.

Now, today we're getting some more big girl pull ups instead of diapers, and i think we're going to work pretty hard on potty training. Hopefully we can master that before the new baby gets here, and that's ANOTHER thing i don't have to worry about. That would be too good.
