It's so hard to say goodbye

It is official. Charlotte is off of the bottle, and just like people told me. It did get easier. I think that she realized that her bottles were gone, and I was not going to give in. for the last 4 afternoon, a 4 nights she has taken her naps, and gone to bed without a tear, and without crying. I turn on her music and she just lies down.

Now, riding in the car is another story . She bucks in her car seat when I put her in and she cries. After sometimes she stops and will take her crackers. This too will pass with time I am sure.

This whole thing has been so sad for me. Charlotte having to start giving things up means that she is growing up, and her growing up means that she is not a baby anymore. She is becoming this energetic little girl.

Now that this transition is over and done with, we will soon be onto the next. Potty-training.
