...if we had a fire it would be delightful!

The blizzard of '09 has come and gone, it looks like. We got maybe an inch and it has already stopped. I'm sure Kroger did very well on bread and milk this week though.

In other news, Halleigh left her new taggie blanket at my grandparents' apartment this afternoon. Anyone who regularly reads Brooklynne's blog already knows that last week HJ lost her original taggie, which had been her comfort item almost from birth. Well, what you may not know is that HJ was just about potty trained. She has been out of diapers for a while now during the day, but we had kept her in pull-ups at night until recently. But she suddenly started asking to wear panties to bed, and when she lost taggie, she had been about a week wearing panties to bed without an accident.

The night she lost taggie, she wet the bed, and she had accidents (sometimes two) every night for the next four days in a row. I'm no psychiatrist, and maybe this is just coincidence, but I had a strong feeling that the two were connected. Anyway, we gave HJ a new taggie (which she has warmed up to, though she still "misses my taggie"), and she has been a couple nights without an accident again.

We realized HJ had left taggie at Grandmother's as we were putting her to bed tonight and she couldn't find it anywhere. So, I was faced with a delimma: to go out in the snow and ice to retrieve the new taggie, or to tell HJ (again) that she would have to sleep without a taggie.

Well, I decided to brave the elements rather than risk a bed wetting episode, but by the time I got back, HJ was already fast asleep. So I laid taggie next to her in bed, and I have my fingers crossed that she will somehow sense its presence.

Only time will tell....
