Two and 1/2 more days of school, we were on countdown. Tyler and Jaedyn were going to go with Grandma Bleyenburg to Iowa to babysit the Bousema kids while Joel and Amy enjoyed some time away and take in some golf. They left right after school on Thursday--they made it there safe and sound, but did travel thru some bad weather. I had been telling Abby that before we go to the pool that we had to get rid of the pipes--so Monday morning we gathered them together and put them in a bag to give to the babies at Church(not really, but Abby thought it was a good idea). She was good most of the day till bedtime, but was tired and fell asleep pretty quick. The next morning--can you say PIPE WITHDRAWAL!! She woke up crying for that thing so bad--I was firm and said no and just had to let her cry, well she went downstairs and found the baby pipes(used for her dolls) and brought it to me and said "mom, I just need one suck" I didn't know I could laugh and be sad at the same time. I was firm once again and just tried to distract her with different things throughout the day--it worked till bedtime, sad again-tired again. The rest of the week went great and she has not asked for it since. She thinks she is big stuff--she has a brother and sister who still suck their thumbs and needs to remind them every so often--needless to say that is why we pushed the pipe on her and wanted nothing to do with the thumb. Great Job Abby!!!
