Right now I am sitting here really wanting to post a blog with pure joy in my heart in celebrating and recalling Daisy's 3rd birthday yesterday! However, not wanting to be "debbie downer" I find it hard to muster up "pure" joy while I am sitting here listening to Daisy scream at the top of her lungs in her room. There's a reason, oh yes, with the turning of three we lost the binky's for good up into the sky. At the time this was very exciting for Daisy. We had talked about it for a couple of weeks. So we had a birthday party for her with her friends from small group and uncle Chad and aunt Trina. We celebrated her special day with pizza and DQ ice cream cake. We then attached her binky's to balloons and went outside with everyone and released the binky's. We were warned about the next 48 hours. With a child that has a temperment like Daisy's, I am not sure anyone could prepare for this transition. I dislike how negative I may be coming across on this supposed to be celebratory blog, but I think it's been almost an hour of screaming and about 15 times of getting up and putting her back down. Now last night it lasted about an hour(not quite as loud) and she passed out. So I know she can do it.
Anyways, I love miss Daisy with all my heart! She definitely has brought be some different challenges, but she has brought this family an abundant amount of joy and laughter and has blessed our life so much! My prayer is that God gives me strength and patience with her to be the best mom I can be and help her to grow to be the special young lady He has planned her to be. (Gotta go put her back in bed, be right back). Not sure if this a win/lose sort of deal, but she is not napping, instead she is on the couch watching cartoons. I have to preserve a tad bit of my sanity and after an hour this is the result. I am hopeful she will fall asleep doing this, but being I just heard her yell for me, I'm not sure this will happen. YEAH for going to work tonight! Happy Happy Birthday Daisy, sorry we had to tag your 3rd birthday with such a big transition....I know your a big girl and you can do it! Enjoy some highlights of the day.....
Miss Kali came over to wish her a happy day!
Daisy's last time sleeping with a binky.
Looking at her new book, wearing her new outfit and undies, with her bro and sisses.
One last shot of with the binky before it flew away!
Her support system...
"Bye Bye Binky", we all yelled!
"Prizes" time!
Make a wish, and it can't be for your binky's to come back!
Daisy and Charlie.
UPDATE: Just finished the blog, and in the time it took to upload photos I put her back in her bed because she got up from the couch. She screamed for a bit, but I actually HEAR silence, and don't SEE her lurking around the corner! She just may be snoozing...let's hope!

Charlie looks a little disturbed watching the binky's fly away.
So sweet.
We went through a few nights of screaming when we took the binks from Ty...but this too shall pass.

Love the balloon idea.
Keep up the good work. You're an awesome mommy.

When you are posting, the bar that has the spell check and add photo there is a button that adds a link. All you have to do is type a word like my name...then highlight it and press that link button and put in my blog address. Give it a try and let me know if it works!
