For a background on how/why we do Tot School, click here.
It’s been a while since we have done any sort of Tot School! Now we are slowly coming out of the Emma transition and have been enjoying trying to enjoy the snow and being cooped up inside. Here’s a little peek at what we’ve been up too…
Friends are always amazed when George talks because he doesn’t talk a lot in public. At home however, he talks a TON. There are two things he says a lot now which I love.
The first is when I am feeding Emma, he will hand me my breast pad and say, “Here’s your cap mommy, put your cap back on.” I never thought of them as caps…maybe someone should contact the marketing department of Johnson and Johnson.
The second is when he wants to be held, he says, “Mommy, I want to hold you, I want to hold you.” This is way more refreshing than the demanding “Mommy hold me, hold me” And I like it when he “does the holding” cause what mom doesn’t want to be held?

Transitions for the kids always make me nervous and then it turns out to be no big deal. Transitions meaning from bottle to sippy cup, from two naps to one nap, potty-training, etc.
Right now, we are going cold turkey with George’s pacifier. He only takes one for nap and bedtime but JJ and Henry never used one, so I don’t really know how to master this transition. George only started to use one when he turned one-year-old, a little weird, but all his teeth came in at once and it seemed to help him in his state of misery.
So here we are 6 weeks before Emma is to be born and I am thinking the time is now for the pacifier to go. Although, it may not be enough time before she is born to enter this transition with him, I’m calling it now. We are trying it for a week and if it’s a fluke, then we’ll try again in February.
