Breaking the binkie:
Tomorrow will be a week since Kayleigh has had a binkie.
I woke up Friday morning and saw it laying on the floor and I decided NO MORE.
I went in there 3 times to give it to her Thursday and after awhile she finally went to sleep.
She still have her shirt when she sleeps. But isn't allowed to carry it through the house.
Not having to remember them when we leave has been so nice. And we always seemed to misplace the binkie right before we left to go somewhere.
Thankfully, our back up (grandma) doesn't like toddlers w/binkies either.
So we have successfully broke Kayleigh from her Binky addiction.
Now onto our next mission:drinking from a straw.
That was/is proving to be harder than breaking the binkie.
She had these sippys that leaked so bad. She knew how to get the juice out and make a huge mess. SO over the weekend I bought sippies that she had to work to get the juice/milk out of. Ya, that went over like a lead balloon.
Sunday, I was determined to get her to use the new sippies - after awhile of her crying and me. I finally left for back up ( grandparents to the rescue). It wasn't our normal - happy mommy, daughter day :(
This week was a battle to get her to use the new sippies. Yesterday, I was looking online and I read about how a mom got her toddler to use a straw. I called Genny ( knowing I would forget - I called right away) and told her what I read. She gave kayleigh a Capri sun and Low & Behold --- she likes to use a straw. She finally got it!!!!
I bought her a sippy cup w/a straw yesterday and Brian is supposed to be seeing if she will take it.
Wonder where she gets her stubbornness from???
No more changes for her - she's got a few very hard ones coming.
