Growing up

As I put Brie to bed tonight all I could think about is how my little baby has grown up. Marcus and I decided that as of the new year the bottle is gone and Brie does not seem to care. Granted she has not had any formula in two days, but the bottle to bed ritual was getting old. Hopefully we can get her drinking pediasure out of a cup during the day to prevent weight loss and continue our small gains. Tonight she went to bed without much fuss. Marcus was working so I was alone with the girls. I fed Sophie a little early in anticipation of a fight, as many of you know daddy does bedtime and has for some time, and got her to sleep in the glider in Brie's room. We read Brie's story and she refused her cup of formula, put her head on my shoulder and settled down for the night. Sophie started to fuss so I put Brie awake but sleepy in her crib. I explained to her that I would stay with her until she fell asleep. She laid down with her covers and baby and after 5 minutes was fast asleep. What a wonderful end to a day.
Also Brie has taken a significant interest in potty training. She actually started asking to use the potty. So out I went and bought some training pants for her. Now as many of you know there are a lot of changes coming up so it is not the best time, but the past two days she has used to potty 5 times. She is very proud of herself when she goes and loves to flush the toilet.
