Kid #2, who is a little over 2 years old, has been passi dependent since birth. If any of you have seen kid #2, been around her, listened to any of my stories, you will know that she is in fact, my wild child. #1 is very laid back and chill, #2 will wear you out by simply being in the same room with her. Back to my story... she has been passi dependent, or should I say... on the binkie since birth. We have tried to break her of the habit, day care has tried, with no luck. It is a battle not worth fighting with her, and you definitely have to pick your battles. Just like with chocolate milk, just give it to her... don't try and talk her into juice... she won't drink it. She wants chocolate milk and she wants it yesterday. Anyhoo... she woke up without the passi, she didn't ask for it, had breakfast... got dressed... got in the truck... and we made it to town with just a tear or two for passi. It has now been over 12 hours passi free. She took her nap at daycare without it, pray for us to have a good night. For any parent that has been on the passi, this is a major milestone. Tonight we will talk more about the Passi Fairy and how she gives the passies away to babies who need them more than she does. 
My dear sweet loving mother actually found something she liked. Yeah, oh my goodness! Momma is your typical Southern woman. She has her garden, she has her flowers, she has something to bitch about all the time. I love my Momma and I couldn't as for anything more. I find it amusing though that she never finds anything she likes to eat at any of the restaurants in town. However, she called me this evening to let me know she had tried a dish I have been telling her about for years, Shrimp and Grits. If you ain't southern, you wouldn't understand. I used Paula Deen's recipe because she would be as close as it can get. Creamy grits seasoned with chicken broth, bacon, and cheddar cheese topped with shrimp sauteed in butter and pork fat... yummy. So Mom and Pop go over to Weidmann's yesterday for lunch and she has the Shrimp and Grits. She then decided to call me and tell me it was Marvelous. For reals yo? Did my Momma just say that? She didn't say it was good, or she liked it... she said Marvelous. At first I was sure she was being sarcastic so I asked, nope.... she really did like it. Let me explain my Momma in a nutshell... go rent Steel Magnolias, my Momma is Ouiser Boudreaux, nix the divorce and being a widow with a little of Marie Barone from Everybody Love's Raymond mixed in. She does not have a positive attitude about many things very often, so when she likes something... we stick with it. She's really not all that bad, she likes plenty of things and she is a rather happy woman most of the time... love you Momma. 
Finally... I actually got my husband to entertain the idea of a dog. Yay! Ever since the passing of dear sweet Morris a.k.a. Mo-Kitty, I have felt kind of lonely in the house. I know, how in the world can I feel lonely when I have two kids. I was raised with pets in the house so, a house feels more like a home with furry babies around. Today while reading Lucky Dog Rescue, my heart started longing for a fur baby. He was against the idea completely until I told him I had already adopted a dog. Lets see how it goes from here out. Wish me luck in finding a puppy that is ready to be loved, since we only adopt animals I'm sure we will find one that will be a great fit. It's amazing how there is a little ray of sunshine in a cloudy day like today... for me I had three.

Good luck with the binkie. I remember going through that with my son. It was a nightmare.
Good luck with the passi. My kids never had one but they did love their thumbs a lot.
my kid was a total thumb fanatic & you can't give that to the binky fairy! she didn't stop sucking her thumb when she was falling asleep til she was 8!
yay for yours being ready to take that big growing up step, enjoy seeing her whole face!
congrats on the progress of binkie removal. My daughter never had an issue w/ her binkie, but I have friends whose kids would wail when one was not readily available.
grits=yum shrimp=yuck...
I know, some people tell me I'm not a true southener b/c I don't like seafood and I don't drink sweet tea. Please don't judge me....
we gave in on the passi at 10:45 last night... ugh. I spoke too soon and it got me.
hope the passi thing is better today. one day at a time right. at least it was a move in the right direction.
What happened with the adoption? you got a puppy yet? the kids will go nutz
Kristina - still talking about the puppy thing. Not sure if we will adopt a pup or one a little older. Kids are going to go crazy. #1 misses Mo-cat pretty bad.
Honey-chile. Don't go frettin over that passi! She'll give it up soon enough. They grow up to fast as it is. Peer pressure is a good thing sometimes. Once she reallizes the other BIG kids don't use one, she'll drop it like it's HOT.
Good luck with the adoption, if you are trying to go through EMAR. You'd have an easier time adopting Egyptian Royalty. I can tell you all about my experience with a little Bassett Hound MIX. Apparently, they are ramblers??? I honestly have never seen a "roaming" Bassett. No fence....no dog!!
Yay for yo Momma!!
I heart you!!
HAHAHA! @ Shan - I don't think we will get to adopt since we don't have a fence. Oh well, we will keep trying a little.
Yeah, the passi thing, we gave in at 10:30 the other night and she has been more attached ever since. I figure we will give it time and see what happens. She will be potty trained before she gives it up.
