Recent Successes

We've been making real progress at home over the last few months with Little Man.

1. The pacifier is gone. DH and I took him to Hobby Town with all his pacifiers in a plastic bag. Hobby Town has an area where they stuff animals like Build a Bear, but much cheaper. So we let him pick out any animal he wanted. He chose a dalmation puppy. We let him drop each pacifier into the animal and the lady stuffed it. We also got the puppy pajamas. Best $19 we ever spent.

He asked for a pacy for a few days, but I just told him to hug his Pacy Dog. He's been happy since. Yeah for him!

2. Little Man is now successfully potty trained. He still uses the potty chair, but when we are out in public he will use the public restroom. He even doesn't need a diaper at nap (we still use one at night). So exciting for all of us!

3. I no longer have to rock Little Man to sleep. I read him 2 books before bed time and DH takes him to his room and tucks him in. We have just been doing this for about 2 weeks, but it's been going well. He cries sometimes but it's not longer than 5 minutes or so. Although, if the neighbor boy is out playing basketball, Little Man will stand on his bed and look out the window. Right now, if he's quiet in his room, we're okay with it.

Little Man's well on his way to being a Big Boy! :) I'm such a proud mother.
