Small steps

Today is day five with no pacifier! We started Friday night and she hasn't had one since. I'm actually really surprised how well it's been going considering she was addicted to her Nuk. She needed it day, car, nap, and at bedtime. I thought I'd take it slow and just try to give it to her during nap and bedtime, but then she started chewing the ends apart and it was dangerous for her to have one in her mouth at all. We've only had a few tears, mostly just whining. It was actually a great time to do it because she's had a stuffy nose, and couldn't breathe with the Nuk in her mouth anyway. Yay for small steps! Next is potty training but I'm not rushing that. We tried going a day with no diapers but we only lasted three hours and six accidents. Now anytime I ask if she wants to use the potty, she cries. Looks like we have a little ways to go with that one.
