Binkie Fairy

So the binkie Fairy visited JaCee on Friday night! She's almost 3 & it was time for the binkies to go away. (actually it was long overdue but with a new baby in the house, it was just easier for me to give JaCee a binkie on many --- many occasions!) We did the countdown all week & talked about how other babies need binkies more than you need the binkie. She bought into that idea ---- fully ---- until bed time. I will say it went better than I thought. She fussed a little while, talked a while, and that was that. Last night was the 3rd night, and she was fine.  She is taking a lot longer to fall asleep. She talked & sang for a good 45 minutes at nap yesterday before falling asleep. She's just finding her own "new" way of falling asleep without her binkie!

JaCee also had to get 2 fillings at the dentist this week! Yikes. I was poking around in her mouth & I found 2 little spots I wanted to the dentist to look at. He did & said they were soft spots he would like to do a little filling for. I LOVE our dentist! It's a children's dental office so they know how to handle the little one's. They gave her a sedative/amnesia medicine to drink....(the same stuff they gave her to drink before she had her thumb surgeries) it relaxes them --- in theory. Didn't work her her this time. The dentist said she's fighting it. So he gave her a little laughing gas...and after a few minutes that finally did the trick. Needless to say when she got home & in her own environment, the medicine did kick in .... she was sooo loopy. Cute, but trying to convince her to sit on the couch because she couldn't walk was hard. She got up to walk around & would fall down & look at me like why? Anyway --- a good 3 hour nap & she was back to her old self.

On a happy note ---- the girls got their 1st pets!!! FISH~ HAha....2 goldfish. We want to get a dog in the future....so I said let's start with the fish. JaCee LOVES to feed the fish...and Morgen watches them...grunts at them...and then waves Hi to them. So cute...

Yesterday we had some friends & family over for Superbowl after Church. It was fun! Baked Potato Bar, Nachos, fruit salad, banana cake and cookies...yummy!
Here's a few pictures of the girls from last week.

 My stinker baby the climbs IN anything she can...I found her IN her baby's crib! (*Note the baby sleeping on the couch)

 

What? ME?

 Giving her sister a kiss during the super bowl!

What you can't see...I was trying to get a picture of her 1st ponytail. She has enough hair on top to put it in a little rubber band!
