Still sick

Brie and I are both still sick, but on the mend. Now, Rick has it. :( I love Fall, but my allergies do not.

Brie has entered the terrible twos. Everyday is a battle of wills to see who's is stronger. Most days, its hers. I started the no blankie or binkie downstairs rule and she is not liking it. I explained that the blankie and the binkie still needed some more sleep and they needed to stay upstairs. She cried all the way down the stairs. :(

She finally perked up with a snack and some Baby Einstein. Soon, both were quickly forgotten and she was off to play. Then, 7pm rolled around and she was getting fussy. She wouldn't eat dinner so she was hungry. I had to feed her left over chicken nuggets. She kept crying for "blankie". :( I'm such a mean mom.

I don't mind that she uses them, but the blankie is adult sized. She drags it through water, dirt, pet hair. It gets very gross very quickly. She also doesn't like to part with it to wash it either. So it is best that it stays upstairs!

Too bad she won't use that nice bear blanket my brother bought her.
