Quick update

I've been meaning to post an update on the pacifier situation...all is going well! He had a tougher time with naps than with bed time. He did cry for several nights at bedtime, but was then fine. However, naps were another story. I decided to reward him with a Nemo sticker after his nap if he didn't cry - guess what? He has not cried once since I promised him a Nemo sticker! Now, he still gets upset about having to take a nap, and it seems like he isn't napping as long as he used to but at least he isn't screaming his lungs out until he passes out from exhaustion like he did the first few days.

Of course now after every nap he wakes up asking for a Nemo sticker. And although I never promised him one for bed time, he now wakes up every morning asking for a Nemo sticker. I guess I should have bought more than 2 packages from the $1 bin at Target!

On another note...look what we found today at a garage sale! Actually, my friend Tina found it and called me. She even negotiated the price before she called! Thanks Tina!!!



Needless to say, Sam is loving every minute of it! (and no, he doesn't wear that shirt every day...just so happens he had it on in the last batch of pictures that I posted!)

Good for you! I have not yet "pulled the plug." I'm just keeping it away during the daytime for now. Then, I plan to pull it or cut them as soon as the Rowlands leave in early July. I want them for our trip to France! Once I pull the plug, we're going for the underwear too. Yikes! Help me now.

Oh. And I love the background! Ok. I'm on a mission for a new one too, soon.

I'm still not loving the background. I could do without the daisies. But I like it better than the one I had :)

Great job on the sticker idea. I need to try that with Walker. But I am not looking forward to it. Love the train table. If you come across another one please let me know!!!!

LOL about wearing the same shirt--seems like we are always taking pictures in the same clothes too! That table ROCKS!!
