This week, Nicole has really put on the crying and fussing to protest the removal of her little friend (the pacifier). At night, we've had up to 1 hour of cries and screams for the pacifier. Naptimes have been even more fussy (I guess because she is less tired).
Wednesday she completely protested the nap. All items thrown out of the crib several times to protest. Items "requested" to be put into the crib. I tried sending Natalie in there with her sleeping bag to give her a clue that I was really wanting her to sleep. After that she took off her socks and threw them out of the crib.
Today she was protesting, but I was tired. I laid down to take a quick nap, during which she fell asleep. When I peeked in on her a few minutes later, she had thrown everything out of her crib, plus taken off her shirt in protest and thrown it out! I laid a blanket over her little body and she slept well until she woke up. We could then put the shirt back on!
One funny note during this week was the night we had a fire. She had gotten her pants dirty outside, so I was letting her run around without the jeans (it was close to bath time). She was having fun and running around. She has been pretending to go potty for a while now by getting on the toilet and...just putting paper in there, no other things (not ready yet). But, she definitely has figured out how to take off the diaper because she started pulling it off and laughing as I ran behind her trying to put it back on!
Hopefully after this week the pacifier will be a distant memory and we'll get over these protesting times!!
