Bye Bye Binky

We Did it! 

Well I didn't do too much. It kinda just happened. Lily is now binky free. I am so relieved. I thought for sure she would have that thing when she graduated from High School. I really can't say that we did anything monumental to rid her of it. She fell asleep early on the couch or in the bed with Daddy a couple nights without it. Then we sorta just told her that we didn't know where it was or we didn't have it anymore. She has cried for it a couple times but we have held strong and been successful. It feels like a huge weight off of my shoulders to have broken this habit. 

Bye Bye Binky! Smell ya later!

Next hurdle is potty training! Help!

It's Okay Tuesday

It's Okay:

• That the state of the cleanliness of my house has not changed since last week's It's Okay

• To drink Hot Chocolate everyday!

• Wish my kids would take more naps, play independently so I can get stuff done.

• To have absolutely no idea (and be sorta terrified) how to get rid of Lily's Binky.  Any tips?

• To want to put my almost 9 month old in baby cage so she can't crawl, stand, stage dive and hurt herself

Totally Random Top Ten

1. Over the past couple months, Lily has really started to pretend play and I absolutely love it. She has a   running commentary with herself when she is playing and it is super cute.  This is a pic of Lily playing with a bunch of little Mickey figurines. She was making them talk to each other and kiss. So freaking cute!

2. I really love seeing Avery wearing some of the clothes that used to be Lily's. It brings back really good  memories of her at Avery's age and I just love it.

3. I think I am going to start with this Yearly organizational project.  My Simpler Life gives you one task to complete each day, and that seems way more doable than just saying I need to clean out the closet. I will post on my progress!

4. We really need to get rid of the binky in this house. Lily still uses it mostly for naps and bedtime but she will find it and put it in during the day and it needs to go! Any tips?

5. We got our first real snow of the season around here. It's pretty and all but I really dislike feeling like I can't leave the house if I need to. I hat how dangerous it makes the roads and such especially for the people who have to get out in it.

6. We are starting a couples fitness challenge on Jan. 5th and I am dreading it but really need to make changes in the way I eat and exercise (or lack there of). I will do a post about it in the next few days.

7. So Miss Avery is not really into eating her purees anymore. She would much rather have solid foods and things she can pick up on her own. She will take a couple bites if I offer of purees but I need some ideas for things she can eat. She has tried pancakes and scrambled egg yolks along with the puffs and snacks you can buy in the baby food section. What else do you feed a non-puree lover?

8. I really want to redecorate some parts of our house. I feel like we have had the same thing going on since we moved here, which we have. I have pinned tons of inspiration on Pinterest and really feel motivated to change some things up.

9. I am super duper excited about The Hunger Games movie come out in March. I really love to see a book come to life in a movie. Go here to watch the trailer. The books are so good i hope the movie can do them justice.

10. Lily is not napping so this will wrap up this post.
