Kicking the Habit

Much to my chagrin, Keira was still having a ba-ba at night. She will happily use a sippy cup all day long but as soon as 7pm rolls around and Jeopardy! appears on the TV, Keira exclaims "BA-BA TIME!".

The new director* at Keira's daycare had an idea for us to help Keira give up her nightcap. We talked to Keira about packing up her ba-ba's and bringing them to the tiny babies at school who need them more than a big girl like Keira. This worked like a charm because Keira's beloved Miss Fran is the teacher in the infant room and Keira will do anything if Fran thinks it's a good idea.

A new baby doll from Toys R Us may have also helped. ;)

After school on Monday we headed straight there and Keira got her pick of any doll in the bunch. She chose a baby that you can feed a water ba-ba to and then change her diaper after she...well, pees.

Just look at our proud big girl:


And we took the new addition for a tour of the 'hood:


Stayed tuned for more big girl things like potty training and moving to a toddler bed in the near future!


*We no longer have our wonderful Miss Kathy at Prime Time. She has moved on to bigger & better things. We miss her dearly. She is a blog reader now so "Hi Kathy. We love you!"

Yeah thats a pretty cool doll Keira. Maybe we will try your Idea for Kylie's "Binky Time" which she claims everytime its nap or Night night time. And Kylie got a new potty for her birthday which she has yet to want to sit on.... well she likes to sit on it but with her pants still up LOL all in due time.

You are such a big girl, and Juh-Juh and Gramps have a surprise for you for being so good and giving your bottles away.
