Life just needs a little time...

Here you have it folks,

We reverted back to the paci.

She did well for about a week, but we also noticed that week 

that she wasn't taking naps and was very grumpy.

I kept thinking oh, she'll get through it and get back to her naps...

well a week long adventure in 'no napping land' I decided to 

give her the paci back- just for naps.

I said nap only.

Yeah, saying and doing are two different things.

She doesn't understand why she can't have the paci.

All she knows is it helps her sleep.

She asked for it repeatedly that night and kept patting herself 

and saying baby.

Hurt my little heart.
She still is a baby.

So, here we are back with the paci 

and honestly I don't feel that bad about it yet.

She's only two.

It's not like she walks around with it.

And by golly if it helps the girl sleep.

Let her sleep.

We will save paci weaning for another day...

when she's ready.

In other news we have been trying to potty train again.

I am a very flexible person...

as you can see from the whole paci weaning adventure.

Anytime we are at home she wears panties (unless sleeping).

We have not dedicated our days to staying home and practicing this though.

I'm in no real rush.

Again, she's only two.

Why such a rush to grow up in everything we do.

She'll do it in her own sweet time.

It's been going really well though. 

I actually set a little owl timer for every 15-20 minutes to start

and we would try to go when it wet off.

Then we just went with asking every now and then...
Now, we are down to asking every now and then or her
telling us that she needs to go.

Children do things in their own sweet time.
It reminds me to take a moment and smell the roses...
Literally. 
She makes me stop and smell all the flowers on our walks these days.
Like most things...

I wouldn't have it any other way.
