No more Binky!!!

I guess this past week has been a week of major milestones in Karlee's life and ours as well. Karlee has now moved from 2 naps a day to 1 nap, and she is doing fairly well. I still think that there will be days when 2 naps are inorder, but for now we are going to try this 1 nap thing out. Another exciting milestone or achievement is that Karlee is officially off the binky. I have to say this was relatively easy. After talking to some friends, and family members, I felt that I could take the plunge. Karlee only got her binky when it was nap time and for bedtime, so I think that helped in the whole process. My main reservation for not taking her binky away was actually pretty selfish. You see, Karlee really is such an easy tempered little girl, and at nap time or bedtime she rarely cries and is asleep within minutes after one of us put her in her crib. So the thought of taking her binky away - I just envisioned Karlee crying for hours.

Rob and I talked it over and decided that this the best time as any. So last Thursday I put Karlee down for bed, and as expected, she cried! This was a different cry however, this was the sad (lost your best friend cry), I couldn't take it so I called my sister and talked to her as my distraction. Karlee cried for about 40 minutes and then fell asleep. Next day at nap time she cried for about 10 minutes, again that sad sad cry. On Friday night, Rob was at work, and Karlee and I were over to our neighbors house, so we didn't get home too early (9:45pm - I know don't faint, yes I was still awake at that late late hour. ha ha) okay so when I put her down, she just cried 2-3 minutes and was completely out. Karlee is doing good. .
