Whatever happened to those steps?

Back in July we posted about the steps one takes to become a big girl. Then in the beginning of August we updated you. Now it's practically mid-September and we just wanted to update you that things have come to a slight stand still as we experienced some set backs with our last two steps.

Officially becoming potty trained was put on hold due to Riley's surgery. Because of where her surgery took place, wearing a diaper versus pull-ups or underwear was a necessity. So we're now back to getting Riley to use the potty. Hopefully now that she is heading back to daycare tomorrow, she will jump right back into the swing of things.

Getting Riley to get rid of the pacifier has been more than trying. While we're pretty impressed that she had no problem giving it up during the day, she is still pretty insistent on having it to sleep. So, while Riley doesn't have a clue, we have decided on a "quit date" for the pacifier and plan on giving the pacifiers to the "Fier Fairy" the last weekend of the month. It may be tough for her but considering I was ready to get rid of the pacifier so long ago, we will get through it!

The hope is that by the beginning of October we will be far from this rut - fingers crossed!!!
