She didn’t wake up all night to ask for the paci. She was buried in with the stuffed animals. Tonight I will count those. They took up half of her full size bed. I tried to pile them on top of each other so she had enough of her own space as to not roll right out of the bed.
When she woke up, she was crying for her paci. Not hard, just whining, waiting for us to give in, in her bed when she should have been getting dressed. We each walked up there and explained it’s gone. She got over it and came downstairs, where the morning proceded as usual, and today I evenmanaged to drop her off at school with only mild complaining of not wanting to go, instead of trying to pull my shirt off as I make a pathetic exit.
To appease her this morning, all those stuffed animals ended up in a circle in the middle of our living room floor. For some reason she has replaced the paci with an unlimited number of stuffed animals, who are all her friends. We will need a big bag or something. Anyway, the circle of stuffed animals in the middle of our floor is admittedly an odd thing to see. Well I guess more odd if you don’t have kids. Shoulder shrugger-type odd if you do have kids.
Tonight Paul has to out her to sleep without my help since I’ll be at her school for parent’s night. Wouldn’t be an issue except the whole no paci thing. Anyway, tonight I learn who her new teacher and classmates will be for the fall. Remember, she was supposed to go to the 3yr old class in the mornings, and because she’s a little more socially advanced than the 3 yr olds, she was to go to the 4’’s in the afternoon. However, I told the director that if her new 3yr old class is lacking any of her best friends, she must stay with the 3’s all day until she makes stable friendships. I don’t want to bounce her between classes unless she’s feeling she has a stable home base with friendly faces. So we’ll see how it goes tonight! On all accounts.
