I know I am going over board with this but as I was nursing my son last night and he was cuddling with his doggie, I thought of a few more... Identical Lovey - Once your child has clearly established a lovey, get a second one exactly the same. It makes switching them out for washing so much easier and if your child is sick and throws up all over Lovey #1, you can "pretend" to quickly clean it and swap it out with the ready-and-waiting clean Lovey #2. We actually have 3 of my son's doggie - one is permanently in the car, one in his room and the last stays hidden in a closet for "back up". Cold Soothie Paci for Teething - We used this type of paci only for a very short time when my kids were newborns, then we switched to a Avent kind that is less likely to fall out... anyway, I kept this kind and figured out these are great when kids are teething. Put them in the freezer and they get nice and cold but not too hard like ice. Since the whole thing is that rubber...
Today Marie turned 2!! We did not have a "party" but we did have presents waiting for her in the kitchen, took her to breakfast, baked cupcakes for community group tomorrow, brought rice krispie treats to school last Thursday, and will have her best friend's family over for dinner and cake next weekend. Plus, her Nana and Papa gave her a tricycle (and helmet) when they were here so I think that all adds to quite a nice celebration. In honor of Marie's birthday, here are several pictures of her over the last year (in whatever order and layout Blogger wants to display them in - don't ask... I have been working on this over an hour and decided to give in to Blogger's ways.)
