Last Friday we moved Zoe into a big girl bed. With that came some major changes to her routine. I may be a mom that babies my daughter. I know N thinks that of me. I like to think I'm a creature of routine. I don't particularily like changes to my routine.
However, I also know Zoe can't stay in diapers and cuddle in my arms when she goes off to college. Changes are inevitable.
Zoe is my daughter in many ways. She's also a child of routine. Changes aren't her favorite thing. Part of moving to a big girl bed included giving up a bottle.
After 5 nights of her asking for a bottle and crying when I told her that big girls don't drink bottles, she's stopped asking and stopped crying. Tonight may be a different story, but I'm considering that a milestone.
The second milestone is that she stays in her big girl bed and sleeps through the night. That part of the transition was seamless. Can I get an amen? Thank you so much for the first pump along with that amen!
As if these two things weren't big enough, Zoe is also totally potty trained. We did some big business this weekend in a public restroom during our swim time at the YMCA.
I've got to say, I was the most thrilled about that one. Gone are the diapers, bottles and crib.
Here's to the days of finding all the public restrooms during our travels.

Congrats! We are working on getting rid of the bottle this month. Sometimes I think these changes are harder on us moms than our kids!
