T minus 2

Only two days until Ror turns two. She is fast on her way to potty training herself. She decided about a week ago that she sits on the (big) potty now, goes there regularly, and actually uses it. A few days at home with some panties and I think we may be done. So last night I thought I would see if she could sleep without her pacifier. She has only used it at night and at nap time for about a year, and 2 has always been our estimated cut off date. So I put her in bed, and when she said, "Where paci?" I told her she is a big girl now and big girls don't use pacis. Pacis all went bye bye. She said, "Ok, pacis went bye bye" And that was that.

And this morning as I was driving to work I got weepy because I realized I just got rid of one of the last vestiges of her babyhood.

Making cupcakes for Makenna's birthday... That means it's been seven years that we have loved this feisty, smart, beautiful girl. We can't wait to wish her a happy birthday in person tonight.

Couch Surfing

It's been a long sad week here. Gram passed away Monday night and the world seems emptier. These girls always made her smile and they keep me laughing now too (even though Gram would most certainly dissapprove of the couch surfing.)
