From Elijah's Birthday

Saturday we celebrated Elijah's 3rd birthday. Elijah and Hailey would have only been 10 weeks apart if she had waited until her due date. His mom and I were pregnant together and these two have been friends for a long time. Happy Birthday Elijah, we love you!!!!

From Elijah's Birthday

We have success! At 3 years of age we finally got rid of binky and not how I had planned. I had decided that Christmas Eve we were going to stick her binky in her stocking and let santa take then to kids who needed them, and in return he would leave gifts. I had started telling her this story to start prepping her for our future plans. She is really excited about christmas so I thought this would be a smooth time for our transition and make her feel good about giving her binky away.

During this planning stage Hailey has somehow managed to lose all 3 of her remaining binky's. The last one was lost three nights ago right before bed. I searched, really searched since my plan was set up, but I couldn't find it so she went to bed understanding they were lost. No problem, the next night, no problem, nap, no problem. What was I thinking?! Why did I worry and not do this sooner? I have no idea, but they are gone and she is no worse for the wear.

I love this picture below ... On Sunday we went to Meme's for lunch and the girls played dress up with Meme. They were even treated to sparking grape juice and chocolate. Who could ask for more?
