Miss Bright and Independent was found under the slide, sans underwear, sucking a stashed pacifier.Wonder if those Nicorette folks have considered something for the pacifier set?
***UPDATED TO ADD:***
As she is currently our youngest, I treasure her "littleness." I should probably have said that I haven't pressed any of these "big girl" issues. She decided one day not too long ago that she didn't like diapers and preferred the potty. Now, convincing her of the merits of underwear took a little doing, but I only made a case about it when we left the house. She was Nature Girl (nekkid under her dresses) at home. In less than a week, she was a card-carrying (panty wearing?) member of the "I'm a Big Kid Now" club.
The weaning from the pacifier was more my idea. When she turned 2, we began to let her have her pacifier only in her bed. She could have it any time she wanted it, but she had to stay in her bed. Even now, she'll say she needs a "passy break" and request one to suck on her bed. When she's done, she willingly replaces the pacifier in the basket.
To be honest, I love the (very few) remaining vestiges of her babyhood, and after I took her picture, I sat down on the grass, pulled her into my lap and sang all of her favorite songs.

Oooooh, the dreaded double whammy! She fell off the wagon. No drawers and with a clandestine binky no less. ;D
Forget the patch, this will take intensive therapy to overcome!
No, not for the kid, for YOU, Clemntine. LOL! ;D
I'm sure SHE'LL be fine in no time.
If they were perfect, they wouldn't need us. :>)
I think my daughter and yours would get along very well.
And mine can show yours how to be THREE years old and still trying to kick the habit.
Such an overachiever!
Don't worry! That adorable little girl will not graduate from high school with that passie in her mouth!!!! You've got time!
She's beautiful!
How sweet!

What a darlin'! I love the way the wind is blowing that beautiful blond hair.
By the way, tell her I have a stash of my own. It is spelled C.H.O.C.O.L.A.T.E. Hee hee!
I had to LOL at your updated part:-) I knew my youngest was our last and I really wanted to enjoy it for as long as I could. She OTOH decided to do everything early. I remember right before she turned two my dh convinced me to quit pinning her diapers so she wouldn't take them off...she weaned, potty trained and started sleeping in her own bed all in the same week! I thought I would die!!
For no less than 20 months, I've been trying not to let, "No thumbs, Cuddlebug" be the most prevelant part of our conversation.
Don't know what to tell you, but I'm glad to know I'm not alone.
Adorable! I say why rush 'em!?
Awwwww... so sweet.
Sometimes you just need a hit from the old passy...
Reese went through 10 pair of undies yesterday before I gave up. I'll just buy stock in Huggies and live with it. =)
My kids never used a paci; I just had to listen to them scream. Ha ha!
