1st Day without the Binkie...

So this morning Sadie cried and cried for her binkie which I did not give her (or Grace) until it was time for their nap. They were so excited that we did not play the game of throwing the binkie out of the cribs 10 times before they fall asleep. They weren't about to give them up after not having them all morning. After their nap they had to leave their binkies in their cribs and it was the END OF THE WORLD for my poor little Gracie Poo. She cried so hard you could tell that it was torture for her to leave it behind. When Grace feels something she feels it WHOLE HEARTEDLY whether it be good or bad. It broke my heart to watch her stand at the bottom of the stairs reaching through the gate hoping I would spare her the pain and give in. But NOPE. I am strong. I put Pooh on and made her some pancakes for a snack and she forgot all about the binkie. When I took them up to go to bed they were so happy to find their binkies waiting for them in their cribs where they will stay again tomorrow morning. It's Dave's turn to get them breakfast so wish him luck!

KITTY CAT!!

Meet Tiger, our cat for the next month or two.
You can't really see it in this picture unless you click on it but Grace has tears streaming down her face because Tiger closed his eyes and tried to go to sleep.
But due to the non stop poking and proding sleeping was not an option.
They are so good with the cat. So far no tugging, pulling, hitting, or gouging of the eyes has occurred. They know to be soft with the kitty. Such good girls.

Again with the lights...

Today is the day that I give up the binkies. (During the day at least.) I'm am just so sick sick sick and tired of searching and digging and crawling around looking for my sanity. Cause let's face it, who benifits the most from the peace and quiet a binkie brings in the midst of a breakdown. Grace hasn't really had a problem just yet but every time Sadie gets upset she starts looking for her binkie and blanket. Wish me luck!
This picture just makes me laugh!
