Up, up & away

We sent jubi's neenee plugs away.  The day before her birthday.   

Before I handed them over. 

One last fix. 

She walked with them for a few minutes.  And I told her she could let them go.  She said "I don't want to.  "

So then I told her she had to let them go. 

 She paused and pondered for about 2 seconds. And then opened up her hand.

I think she told me she wanted them back.  Or wanted them to come back.  I told her minnie mouse was at home waiting for her.  She didn't cry or fuss. 

Gabriel said he thought the plus flew to heaven.  

We had fun playing at the Viking hills playground in the chilly weather and then went to get a celebratory cookie at the mall.  

Contrary to popular belief I did not plan to be away at bedtime. I realized on our way to the mall that I was supposed to meet up with the EBGs that evening. Actually, Roy reminded me.    So Roy put her to bed with Minnie.  And he said she did fine.  She did call him back in and ask to be held.  

I will say that her bedtime shenanigans have increased since the plug release.  Telling me she needs to potty.  After she just got off the potty.   Fussing.  Crying.   

"ummm.  Mom.   I need to teuw you summping" 

"mom.  I have a sweecket" (secret) "I'm talkin' bout.  Ummmm.  "

It's comical. For a few minutes.  Not the crying fussing part though.  Obviously.  

Anywho. She has actually bucked a nap two times now.  {deep breath} 

--- stay calm & keep being a nap natzi-----

All in all.  Not that bad.  

The first two mornings sans plug she woke up at 7:00ish.  Which is an hour or more earlier than normal for her.   But today she slept til 9:45.  Which is prolly why she's not napping today. I love that nugget.  Believe it or not-- being the nap natzi isn't so bad.  Gabriel will still take a nap some days.
