Big Weekend

Well, we had a big weekend. Jenna woke up on Saturday and decided she wanted to wear big girl underwear. She did have a few accidents each day but overall she did very well.

Then, after a long talk in the car yesterday, Jenna decided she was ready to throw her binkies away! She tossed them in the trash as soon as we got home and we went back out to get her a prize. She was very proud of herself . . . until bedtime, that is. Suddenly her Belle doll didn't seem so soothing and she spent a LOOONG time hollering for her binky. She eventually fell asleep, though. She cried for the binky again this morning, then moved on to something else.

I'm hoping there will just be a few more days of crying and then she'll forget all about them. I hope!
