No More Pleases




This is what Henry and Audrey called their pacifiers, which were sent to the North Pole with Santa on Christmas Eve, for redistribution to the other babies of the world. As Henry and Audrey didn't need them anymore. Maybe one night with a few tears, I think it was the 26th, but they've been great without them since. Great, meaning it takes a lot longer for them to wind themselves down for sleep. More dancing, talking, singing in their cribs. I think the cribs are the next to go, with Audrey becoming toilet-capable soon. Still, lots of change in a month for Audrey especially, though H may have been a bit more pacifier-dependent?
We're very proud of both of them for their maturity and sacrifice.
In their honor, some pictures of Silly Face At The Dinner Table Night.

Audrey in Training!


The biggest news this week is that Audrey has gotten pretty consistent with using the potty at home and at school! She may have accidents, and her diaper is still wet in the morning, but she has had a few days at school with no accidents and multiple #2's on the toilet. We are extremely proud. Last child in diapers, fading fast. Hallelujah. There, I just jinxed her.
Much of this came after a few weekends of letting her walk around the house without pants and with a potty chair always nearby, like this one in the living room. I'll spare her more of those pictures online.
We're very proud of her, as she is of herself.
