Zach update

It is a rainy day here today. Zach & I had a chance this morning to cuddle and read books. It was nice to have one on one time with him. Zach loves to have me read to him, just like Zoe used to...and actually still does since she asked me to read to her and Emily before they left for school. Having Zach bring me book after book after book reminded me of Zoe at that age doing the same thing. Some mornings I hated reading right when we got up, but I'm glad I did it because now they are precious memories.

Zach did great again last night with no binky. He did cry for about a minute, but I think he was saying "drink" when he was crying, but the girls interpreted it as "binky" and then mentioned it, so then he mentioned it. But after telling him that he doesn't have a binky anymore, he cried for about a minute and then he was fine. I think being in the same room as his sisters helps to comfort him and it takes his mind off what he wants.

I love it when Zach asks to sit on me. He says "Sit you". The word "with" is never used in his sentences.

So, did you just go "cold turkey" with the no binky? My sister is trying to get her little boy off before the new baby comes and she is having struggles... it's always great to have a little one on one time. I feel like ryan gets neglected since Ella was born, so I love when its just us and can snuggle and read together. He sits close and when we are done will say, "I love you too mommy! It's the best!

Isn't it great when you get one on one time with those kiddies that don't get it enough! OH it is so hard to spread our time out amongst all our kids. (especially with little babes!) Wow I am proud of Zach with no binky!! What a big boy!

Zach is sounding like such a cutie these days! I am glad the non-binky life is working ok for him so far! One on one time is so fun:)
