Paci Update

Well, it's been 4 nights now and it has gotten a little better. To tell the truth, nap time has been a breeze but the nights have just been horrible. Last night she woke up twice, yup, just twice to that was a HUGE improvement to the every hour wake up of the first night. I found the paci while cleaning the bathroom and had to hide it very quickly before she saw it. I haven't thrown it out, why? Well, I'm not sure, it just doesn't feel right to throw it away. Maybe I'll put it in her baby box for a good laugh after this is all over.

Pacifiers And Cherry Trees

Yesterday afternoon I could not find Abygail's pacifier for her nap time. She always sleeps with it and if she doesn't have it we have to wait until we can find it. Well, I LOOKED EVERYWHERE and could not find it so I made her take a nap anyway (mean mommy). She finally cried herself to sleep. Last night we went on the search for the 'paci', as we call it, again. Neither Jason nor I could find it so, she had to cry it out again. She woke up several times through out the night waling for it and there was nothing we could do except go and get a new one, which we refuse to do. This morning she woke up screaming for it and we were finally able to calm her down enough to get here to start the day and she was happy after that. Well, it's nap time again and now it's a mission. We've gone 1 whole day with out it and there is NO WAY I'm going to turn my back on that progress and give it to her now (even if it does ever reveal it's hiding place). So, we probably have another day and a half of hardcore sleep tantrums but, it's all or nothing now. Thank goodness for the weekend.

On another note, our cherry tree has been blossoming for the last month and it is so fun to watch and to see how big it's gotten! I gave Jason a cherry tree for Valentine's day this last year. It's a tree that will grow indoors and after a few years it should start producing edible cherries, YUM! When it arrived in the mail in March (it was too cold in February for it to ship) it was the size of my thumb (that's leaves and all). Now look at it, almost 2 feet tall. (it looks a bit sickly right now because it needs water - I just watered it)
