Goodbye Sucky Baby

True to her word, the Sucker Fairy came on Sunday night and took the last of the suckers in exchange for more gum. So, there you have it. After three years and four thousand sucker hunts, the gig is up - our big girl is coping. Sleeping, being sad and getting boo boos all without suckers. The first night was Awful and had me second guessing myself, wondering if she wasn't ready yet. The way she cried for almost 2 hours - howling. "Ohhhhhhh, OOOOOOOOhhhh! I want to be TWO - I'm just little!!" It was truly harrowing. The second night was just as sad but shorter and I know in a few days she will be fine. The interesting thing is I can see already that her bedtime routine will be easier. She kind of keeps herself in a sleepy state for a long time with the suckers. Without it is stories and sleep - pretty fast. No more waking up and crying and looking. She has already slept deeper. Only waking up to stir cry out and promptly pee the bed.

No more night diapers either... The Diaper Fairy came on the same night but turns out she doesn't give you sh*@! Figures... :)
