Milestone Week at the Burns House

After two and a half weeks of sickness in our house spread between all four of us things seem to be looking up this week! Not only are we healthy BUT both of my kids have hit a milestone:) ( in my eyes at least) My son who has been attached to a binky since day 1 has FINALLY given it up! This past Friday Lolly took both Beau and Pike to the ranch. I decided to make choose, either stay home and keep his binky or no more binkies-be a big boy-and go to the ranch with primo! Well he chose to go to the ranch. Lolly said he did just fine without it and here we are on Day 6 and still no binky. Two things I have noticed since giving up the binky. 1. Beau is not throwing his little fits (for the binky) it has been so nice. He knows he isn't going to get comfort from the binky so why throw a fit?!? Second, his lisp is disappearing. Today we were talking about his birthday and I asked to tell me when his was and he said 25th CLEAR as day when typical the TH part would have had an S in it!!! I was so excited I made him repeat it a few times!
Now for Brooklynn she is on DAY 3 of NO DIAPERS! Yesterday was her first day at school with no diaper and she had a minor accident, and today being day #2 she had NO accident:) So excited and proud of her! The no diaper is not just during the day, she is in big girl panties (hello kitty of course) 24 hours a day!!! and NO accidents in bed during the night or naptime. Since switching her to underwear she her naps have stretched to 3+ hours and at night gone from 11-12 hrs. to at least 13 hours! It's been great! Not sure if it will stay like this forever but I'm enjoying it nonetheless!!!
I'm praying we continue to progress with these milestone and they stick so that way we can move to sisterbaby not having a binky!!!
