While at the mall the other day we walked Belle through Build-A-Bear and talked up how she'd get one if she threw her pacies away. That night she decided that she still wanted her pacies, but the next mourning she said "Go build a bear?". I told her she had to throw her pacies away and she did. I made an attempt at putting her down for a nap since she was so whiney. That only resulted in a 3 hour power struggle. When Nic got home we made the trip to the mall and made Tinker Bear.
I was cautiously optimistic as bedtime approached. She didn't really cry and only asked for the paci a couple times. Mostly I think she just wanted to get out of bed. I ultimately had to take the bear's outfit off, but she did eventually fall asleep with the bear. And slept all night, well to 5am anyways. I tried to put her to sleep again, but that just resulted in her screaming....for the paci. Ultimately I got up. We'll see how tonight goes. This morning she said "Pacies for babies, I have Big Girl Bear". How cute is that?
And here is this little man. This picture cracks me up for some reason. I just love the look on his face.
Dont watch unless you want to cry.

When you watch the video & it makes you sad to know "it won't be like this for long", remember grandkids are at the other end of the experience so it's all good :O)
yea belle. What a big girl!!!
Ethan looks so much older in that picture! my goodness.
Ethan looks like a different baby with every new picture you put up! I like his slicked-to-the-side hairdo in this pic : )
oh, I laugh out loud every time I read a post about Belle's funny stories! You must be a great story teller, because I can picture the whole thing as it unfolds in my head! P.S. I plan to pick up your fabric tomorrow, now that we are home from NC. I'll try to have a strap for you on Monday...FINGERS CROSSED!
