Bye bye nummies!

While in Orlando Rose announced a few times that "I'm a big girl I don't need my nummies (soothers) anymore!".  We'd say ok and put them away, but then when nap or night came she'd ask for them back and we'd just give them to her.  They were pretty old and disgusting too, but I didn't want to buy new ones and promote the habit! I'm not sure if it was because she was sharing a room with Paige and realized that Paige doesn't have them either, but it was all her own idea.  Right before these announcements, she also announced that she didn't need a potty seat anymore and stuck to it.  Great because it's far easier to wipe her bum when she isn't on the seat.

Anyway, when we returned home she made the same announcement so I put them away and she had a nap!! Time for them to go!! That same day the new bunkbed was delivered so we put her to sleep in it with no soother and she never looked back! Awesome!!!! It was such a disaster taking it away from Paige I dreaded it and had been debating whether to do it before the baby, before the bunk bed, after the baby, etc.  Didn't really know what to do.  So thank you Rose for making it easy!! I have noticed that if she gets upset at bedtime if she's overtired that it takes longer to calm her down, but it'll take time.

Rose's first summer.  Sleeping with the nummie.
