Last night Santa made a special apperance to our house to collect all of Payton's binkies so that the baby elves could have them. In return Santa was going to leave her some Dora and Princess stickers for her. We wrote him a note and left all the binkies on the table for him to collect. After Payton fell asleep, I went in and took the one from her room. Santa wrote back to Payton telling her what a big girl she was and how proud of her he was. He indeed left the stickers she was asking for along with a fancy jingle pen. She LOVED them.....and then came naptime. She was not happy about going to bed without a binky. She came out after about 1/2 hour and told me she needed her shirt changed. She had sucked on her shirt and it was soaking wet. She layed back down after I changed her shirt and about 20 minutes later she started crying. I let her go for about 10 minutes. (The crying got louder and then she started knocking on the door while crying, asking for me.) I layed her on my chest and she almost instantly fell asleep. I carried her back into her bed and she woke up as I layed her down. Shortly after that, I heard her door again (so i pretended to be asleep on the couch), she called my name, went back into her room, and got back in bed. This happened twice. Finally, I went into her room a little after 4pm because we needed to take Caleb to the dr. and she popped up and said, "Hi Momma. I not sleeping!"
Tonight she went to bed without crying. I explained to her again that her binkies were all gone and that she is a big girl now. Let's hope that she makes it through the night without waking up.
