-soothers
-bottles
I have tried in the past but it has been complete horror! Screaming, crying, hitting (me), yelling (her), etc. But, Ive had enough. She is less than 6 months away from being three years old. I would have liked to have had her off both things around the age of one. She was doing really well with having no milk in her bottle in the new year. But since her brother arrived and he has bottles, its been a downward spiral. As with the soothers, she was doing really well without them too. Usually at nap time and bedtime, and sometimes in the car. But she is a big girl and doesnt need to depend on either for comfort. So, she had milk in a bottle when she woke up this morning and nothing since. I gave her milk in a cup, and she barely touched it. I offered it to her again and told her she was getting her milk in that now, not a bottle she did drink about half of it. Soother has been hiding all day and she hasnt had it since last night. It will be hard, but we just have to stick with it and be firm with it. Daddy seems to cave into her needs the easiest. I think the most battle is going to be between him and I and sticking with this change. He is a sucker, and would much rather do something to stop her from whining. But it is time for her to be a big girl!
We celebrated Canada Day this past weekend. Here are my two beauties dressed in their red and white.

I thought it was going to be a hard time with Brooklyn, but with the soother I had her throw all her soothers in the garbage herself and that was a breeze!! with the bottles I switched her over to these sports sippers they look alot like bottles, it was a easy adjustment, from those right to sippy cups.. Goodluck!! :)
