I wish I...how DID you get her to pee in a cup!!?? <br /><br />I wish I had heard of the Binky Fairy! I never thought Gus would give up the bink. His palate and teeth were a bit affected even tho we had the ortho-friendly kind. I let him have it forever since he had the whole jealousy-regression thing when Pea was born. <br /><br />I forget how, but he just forgot about it eventually. I think being at school all day without it helped wean him off of it. <br /><br />And then I'd keep them out of sight at home and only whipped it out when he got really sad and freaked and needed his comfort tool. But I totally would have tried to get him off it way earlier!Geeks in Romehttp://www.geeksinrome.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-13809398928094124842010-03-26T04:27:38.214-07:002010-03-26T04:27:38.214-07:00It's nice to hear how some of your stories tie...It's nice to hear how some of your stories tie up, thanks!<br />Glad to hear Pumpking took well to the visit of the blinky fairy, and specially that her lip is doing better now!. Like you and as per Bella's advice, I'm trying to hold on until C is closer to 3 to try that one on him.<br />Regarding the HFCS issue (which is not really a big thing here in Belgium) I honestly think that the best thing is to stay away of processed food (specially drinks) as much as possible. Like you, I'm not entirely convinced that the HFCS is the culprit, since people all over the world is getting fatter and fatter, no matter if they're soda contains HFCS or not...<br />I hear you on the 6-month growth spurt-regression! The only thing that kept me going here was co-sleeping, but I still was a mess (I'm just recovering now and H is 10 months). I hope Petunia doesn't keep you up for too long!Aubergine Kenobinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-75631496356684143502010-03-25T08:29:03.655-07:002010-03-25T08:29:03.655-07:00Thanks for all the updates!

I also want to hear how going back to work has been.<br /><br />Glad the Binky Fairy seems to have workedng better and that her lip is already getti. Glad Pumpkin didn't have a UTI, although I can't imagine trying to convince an unwilling child to pee in a cup! <br /><br />Sorry about the night wakings. You will get through it, though! <br /><br />I need a new dishwasher, but that's not going to happen for a while. As for pans, my MIL got us cast iron pans for Christmas, and I LOVE THEM! <br /><br />As for the HFCS, I was never convinced that it was processed the same as sugar. I just think we don't know enough yet, and I'll keep looking into the studies being done. I'm going to read the articles you linked to now.caramamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327695885346537321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-71952776476287061252010-03-25T06:42:56.116-07:002010-03-25T06:42:56.116-07:00I was going to say the same thing -- my 3yo boy wa...I was going to say the same thing -- my 3yo boy was excited to pee in the cup. It's hard enough for me to pee into a cup, so I can't imagine you trying to coax a little girl into doing it. Good for you.<br /><br />We got ourselves a Bosch dishwasher too -- partially on your recommendation and partially on the recommendation on a bunch of Facebook friends who love theirs. We love with it so. It's quiet! Wastes less water! Gets the dishes CLEAN for a change!

But first he had to pee in a cup and he was totally stoked by the idea of peeing in a cup. Big fun. And then the doctor gave him a piece of paper with pictures of poop on it - the kind you don't want and the kind you do - and he still has it. His "poop paper" is still sitting in a basket on the back of the toilet. It's the only time I've found his pee/poop fascination to be the least bit helpful but it made for a very easy dr visit. <br />Glad to hear it isn't a UTI and I hope the potty issues resolve soon. Good work with the binkie fairy. Do you think a mommy fairy will work to get me some sleep in my own bed? I fell asleep in his bed again last night, I think before he did.mom2boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00784436196685595115noreply@blogger.com
