2 nights, 1 nap

Sawyer at 9 months

Sawyer has been without his binky now for 24 hours. Yes he's 2 1/2. And yes, he's even potty trained but HAD a binky.

I expected this to be monumental. Harder than potty training. I thought I'd be reading books for weeks in preparation for the horrible day.

Last night we got his binky and he had bit it open, again. So I told him we had to go buy more, at Walmart, of course. He was extremely tired, no nap yesterday. He cried and whined about it for 15 minutes. I wanted to give in, it was completely unplanned. But then, he quieted and went to sleep....hmmm....

He didn't mention it this morning. He whined about it for 30 seconds at naptime.

Tonight, not a word or mention of the beloved binky.

Don't worry Sawyer, I don't have a problem with your two blankies, you can take them on your mission as far as I'm concerned :)

Day 3 and bliss

Okay BLISS is an exaggeration, but I'm potty training Sawyer, and so far, it's fabulous. I know, could I be any more annoying? I'm terribly sorry. We won the lottery, I'm having triplet girls and Nate Berkus is decorating my house :) It just has been pretty easy so far...I'm knocking on all sorts of wood.

Sawyer is growing up soooo fast, it's crazy! He loves to color now, and he drew this for me the other day:

Awe! He's never drawn "shapes" before. What a cutie patootie.

And seriously Oliver, come on! That smile makes up for any lack of sleep you cause, King of Stinkertons. He is all over the place, and really loving the stairs, oh dear. He's been starting to try and do steps on his own in between furniture...that definitely seems way too fast.

Well there's the boys and what they're up to. As for us, E is studying, studying, studying and I'm thinking, what the heck will it be like to have Christmas with NO snow??

A Happy Clapper
