We are going on 2 months of no diapers during the day and 1 month of no diapers at night - woohoo!!!
I was never brave enough to go diaper free at night even though she was dry 98% of the time in the morning, but leave it to Daddy to just go for it one night when I was playing bunco. And so here we are a month later and she has had only one nighttime accident so far and will frequently call out for us if she has to go in the middle of the night. Such a big girl!
She has also gotten better with dressing herself. We are definitely in the "I do it myself" phase - which means we need an extra 10 minutes to get out the door. If you start to help with something she wants to do by herself, she will say "No I do it" and will start all over (ie. put her pants back on and then take them off) - it's exhausting - ha! Paige has finally caught on to the "tag in the back" concept for putting on her pants though so that's good! She can take her shirts off but has yet to put them on by herself, but she does pretty good with her socks and puts her shoes on by herself almost all of the time.
And then this has also happened within the last few weeks:
Once again leave it to Daddy to make this change while I am gone. We had been talking about it, but never really decided whether or not we should convert her crib yet.
Well, Luke and Wally apparently decided it was time. I was freaking out. I wasn't as worried about the night as I was about her napping. She has always been a fabulous napper! Naps have been going ok though. It takes a little bit more effort to get her asleep sometimes, but other days she goes right down.
We have been having a little girl sleeping in our bed at night at least 5 out of the 7 days of the week though! She goes to sleep on her own just fine. We read a book, give kisses and say I love you's and she falls asleep on her own, but she usually wonders her way down the hall to our room and just stands on the side of the bed until one of us notices her and bring her up by us. I know we probably need to make a bigger effort to actually walk her back to her room but we are tired and honestly it isn't worth it (and who doesn't like to cuddle with your kid all night!). Sometimes she comes in at 11 PM, other nights it's 3 AM. We eventually carry her back to her bed before our alarms go off at 5:30.
The only "baby" thing that is left is her "bobby" (paci). And we are down to 1 - yikes! She has thrown all of the other ones away on her own once they got a hole in them. I'm considering getting a backup to at least get us through the plane ride to Disney next month. We will make a push for no pacis once we get back from vacation!
Paige is turning in to such a little girl though. No more baby Paige here :(
