Big Girl.

It happened. Sophia is now a big girl, her personality coming out in full bloom! Making decisions on her own, accomplishing tasks on her own, helping out mommy & daddy all the time now,  and also being very smart in regards to her ABC’s, 123’s and many many songs.

Since she turned two, we thought it was best for a variety of reasons to take away the “nukie” (as she calls it). I was nervous, sad and anxious all in one. Sophia was no longer a baby, no strings left that tied her to being a baby, she was officially a BIG girl. We decided it would be best to take away her nukie on the weekend in case a fight ensued. Well Friday, September 30th 2011 came and i cut her nukie officially “breaking” it.

Nate and I discussed prior that this would be the best route to take since we both tried for weeks to get her to give her nukie to the babies since she was a big girl. Being as smart as she is she always had a way to finagle her way around that. We couldn’t throw it because she knew where to find new ones, so we decided it would be best if it “broke”.  After I cut her nukie I showed it to her and said, “uh oh Sophie your nukie broke.” She came running over looked at it and said, “its broke?”  And that was it. That night she went to bed only asking for it once, and we again reiterated that her nukie was broke and she went to bed with no fuss and no fights. Phew!!!  The weekend was good for bedtime, our only problem was nap time in which she didn’t want to nap at all! That was a week and a half ago and she has only asked for it one other time and in the same time stated that it was broken.

She is now a big girl! YAY & 🙁 ..Time goes to fast..
