Week 1 without a Pacifier

Okay, so I must admit, it was premature to brag that Bella had easily transitioned to official big girl status by ditching her nu-nus. Well, it has NOT been an easy week.

At 10:30pm last night, Brian & I were actually contemplating on whether or not to make a mad dash to Walgreens to buy a pacifier. Seriously. She's not going to bed easy anymore, takes her about 2 hours to fall asleep with lots of crying, only stays asleep until about 1am, and somehow she ends up in bed with us every stinking night. Thankfully we have a king-size bed, but I want my bed back!!!

Naptime has not been fun either. She plays, sings, talks, or cries for up to 2 hours before she finally passes out from pure exhaustion. Very frustrating. Instead of napping 12-2 as before, she's now going to sleep about 3 and then I wake her at 5pm. This throws our entire afternoon & evening schedule off. She's not tired for 8pm bedtime because she's napped so late. Ugh.

Oh man, that sounds terrible but hang in there! A week probably feels like forever but in child development years, that's nothing! (Says she who does not have a child...)
