Today we started the journey towards pacifier freedom, or Dobby freedom as Eoin calls them.
We went out and bought a little box that we decorated and now call the 'Dobby Box'. When Eoin wakes up in the morning and after his nap he places all his Dobbys into the box and then he has to cope without his dobby (but he has his blankie) during the day.
Today was the first day of this new routine and he did well except his thumb found its way into his mouth a lot!
Oh and a funny story about 'dobby'. Eoin was in bed the other night with me and he kept pulling at my top and asking for 'mommy dobby'. It took me a while but then I realized he was referring to my nipples!!!!!
Other little developments are the use of the word 'MINE' but it is very cute when he tells other kids 'mine mommy'.
Bedtime and nap time was changed. Naps are now 11.30 to 12 ish for anything from an hour to two hours and bedtime is now 7pm.
Speech is crazy and we are really having to watch what we say! We love that Eoin is turning into such a fun little boy with a wicked sense of humor (not that dissimilar to his Mommy even down to the 'evil laugh'), but we do miss our baby.
PS If the blog is a little quiet for the next few days don't worry. My camera went to camera heaven but as blessings/luck would have it I won a photo competition the day it died and the prize was a new camera so new photos and video coming soon :-)
