A Mellow Brick Road...: Bye Bye Binky!

Emilia Bodhi, you ended up coming and sleeping with Momma at about 1:30 a.m. this morning, and that's after you went to bed at about 11 p.m. The thunderstorms woke you and you got scared. Daddy, after sleeping all day, was up all night working, so we had the bed to ourselves Bodhi :) 6:30 a.m. came too soon this morning. Bodhi, you popped up and were wide awake! You were actually in a decent mood too. Mommy turned on your cartoons and got in the shower. After Mommy took a shower, we woke Bubby up. He was so happy to see us, he's always so happy (well so long as he's not hungry or tired). Anyway, Bubby Buddha popped up in his crib with a big smile on his face and started chanting "Bo Bo!" "Bo Bo!" Bodhi, you thought this was so funny and started repeating Mommy, "Good morning sunshine!" After everyone was dressed, you two headed to Aunt Ti's with Daddy. Mommy stayed behind to begin working from home. What was supposed to be a short day, turned into a long day. Mommy's friend, Dianna Spray, told Mommy to call her dad to see about finishing up the little painting that was left (which Mommy couldn't get to. So Ron, Dianna's very kind dad, finished the painting (for a reasonable price). He was also going to replace your ceiling fan, Jude :) He didn't make it to that project though and he scheduled to come back Wednesday.

Mommy picked you two up this evening. You two were waiting at the door for Momma. Aunt Ti had been a worried anxious mess all day. Your pacifier had a tear in it Bo! Aunt Ti was worried you were going to bite it off and choke, so she kept a close eye on it. When Mommy arrived Aunt Ti provided Mommy with some much needed moral support with weaning you off of the paci (again). Mommy had you almost completely weaned about six months ago, but Daddy gave in and you fell off the wagon. Aunt Ti, when you weren't looking, cut the rest of your paci off bhahahahaha! Mommy gave it to you and you screamed your little heart out! Aunt Ti asked if we had another one in the car, because you were breaking our hearts, but we didn't so Mommy decided tonight was the night. We are going to get you off the paci aka binky. There's a Gummy Bear song about the binky hee/hee you love that song! We won't be listening to it anytime soon.

Once home Mommy was getting you both dressed in your pajamas when the door bell rang. It was Grandpa Kurt. Mommy was going to text him and ask where he's been, but I didn't have to! Grandpa Kurt played with you two, blowing bubbles, tickling, etc... Grandpa Kurt was wearing the shirt that you, Bodhi, picked out for him for Christmas. Yep, a blue shirt hee/hee Daddy arrived home after 7 p.m. but we stayed upstairs playing until Buddha's bedtime. You were ready to go to sleep Buddha! Mommy rocked you for a good half hour. Mommy missed you and your sister so much today! Bodhi, you ate some snacks with Daddy and Grandpa Kurt downstairs :) After Grandpa Kurt left, Mommy went to do a drop-in on a client and return some shoes at Target that were too big for you, Bodhi. When Mommy returned home, you and Daddy were cuddled up on the couch passed out. You didn't have a paci in your mouth!!!! Mommy carried you upstairs and tucked you into bed. Mommy then came back downstairs and gave Daddy a high five for not giving in and getting you to sleep :)

Sweet dreams my sweet sugar butts! Momm.y misses you when you guys are away all day. I love you two so much, as does Daddy. xoxoxox

Mommy is so stinkin' tired, too tired to re-read this post. Hopefully it makes sense. There are days when I re-read the blog from the previous day, and wow, I have no idea what I was thinking
