We are home today for a snow day. It is FREEZING outside and there are just a few inches of snow on the ground. Lily would love to go out and play but it's just too cold today. The wind is blowing like crazy. So we are inside and playing. Thought I would get out the the Bumbo chair and try it with Ella today. Lily just thought it was great that she was sitting up playing with her. Lily would bring her blocks and stack them and Ella would knock them down. They were both laughing out loud. As you can tell Lily has taken to all of Ella's binkies. She never took them as a baby, but now loves them. The more we push for her to get rid of it the more she sucks on them. So for now we are just trying to keep them out of sight and ignoring it as best we can.
A little accomplishment for Ella and Mommy today. I put Ella down in her bed for a nap and let her cry/fuss for a bit then went in there and patted her back and she fell asleep all curled up with her finger in her mouth and took a nap! It's a big time struggle to let my kids cry it out. I just don't do it. But really want to make a better effort to let her learn to comfort herself. Lily never learned how and that is why we have a 2 year old in our bed all the time. Most of the time we really don't mind, but wish that she would sleep in her bed. It's a work in progress.
