Ok, this is a bit embarrassing. Soph got her nails done as a reward for not having a bottle anymore. I know, she's three. I can feel the judging already, ha! She didn't carry it around with her, but would take it at night. It always seemed like there was something preventing it from being a "good" time to take it away from her. I knew that if I didn't nip this in the bud that she would be taking it to college with her. So last Monday she stopped cold turkey. Lord help, it was brutal! She had a terrible time with it! It took me almost 2 hours every night to get her down. After the 6th night of this my choices were simple; either be bald from pulling my hair out OR figure something out fast! Soph is such a creature of habit! And schedules. The child does not do well with out structure. So we started a new nightly routine. iheartorganzing has a great free printable of a cute schedule that is fun for kids to follow! Saying Soph loves this schedule is an understatement! She has to follow it exactly. We do not deviate in the least bit! Bless her, she is such a rule follower like her Momma! The last two nights have been a breeze getting her to sleep!
Now we're working on Elle not taking a bottle. So far, so good.
It does seem strange that no bottles are needed in our house! Not gonna lie, it makes me a little sad!

| She put her little hands up there like such a pro! |

| She didn't move for about 10 minutes because she didn't want to mess her nails up! I even had to come home and use the blow dryer before she was convinced that they were good and dry. She was so proud of them! |
Baby Ellie was not such a fan of hanging out while Soph was being pampered. She is a girl on the move and does not like to be stopped. Thank God that Momma was there to keep her occupied!
