Im a BIG KID now : -)

One of our achievements over the holidays was that I managed to wean Erika permanently off a dummy and bottle. She no longer has a daytime bottle either - sleeps in a big girls bed, sits at the table to eat all her meals, attempts to dress herself (and does really well at it) puts her own shoes and socks on and we are in the process of starting toilet training. She still doesnt watch TV - we dont turn it on at our house so thats easy to keep her away from.

Erika looks tiny sitting at the table, but she feels pretty big when shes up there :)

Im really proud of how well she is doing. She did start having tantrums but they are easy to handle and mostly she goes to her room to have a tantrum then comes out when she is finished. She only ever has a tantrum if she wants something she cant have and thinks she should be allowed it - like chocolate at dinner time...
