Goodbye dear Friend!

Best Friends at first suck...

So yesterday I went with a friend to a WIC appointment, and when we got into the WIC Dr room she asked me how old Dax was and I said 20 months, and she mentioned "the bink" I know, I know. He is getting big but it is his BEST FRIEND. Well, ever since I was slightly "harrassed" about his bink I decided to try to get rid of it, cold turkey. We have tried in the past but I would get sick of the whininess and such that I stuck it right back into his mouth. But, not today. I cut the tip off of the one he had last night (we have done this in the past but he just kept on sucking) and I let him have it. He kept telling me it was broke. I felt HORRIBLE!! All my baby wants was his bink. But I stayed strong. He ended up getting frustrated at the "broke bink" that he threw it. I'm not quite sure where it went, so I told him it was lost. To tell you the truth, I didn't really look too hard for it.
After many tears shed, I decided it was time for a nap. It hasn't been this hard to ever put Dax to sleep EVER!! He has done good since he woke up from his nap, he only has asked for it when we were in the car. I have faith in my little buddy that he can do this. Hopefully tonight isn't too bad. I want to show his Daddy just how big he is getting next week!!

Thankfulness

Today, I feel like I need to post about everything my family has been given.
First of all, I am Thankful to my wonderful, strong, and hardworking husband. He liderally is my knight in shining armour. He lives HOURS away from us, doesn't see us too ofter and still has strength to wake up in the morning and go to work to provide for us. He has also helped me live my dream as a stay at home Mommy.
I am also Thankful for my beautiful baby boy. Even on bad days he can melt my heart by a random kiss or hug. I am Thankful that he loves for me to cuddle and sing and rock him to sleep. I can and will do that until he begs me to stop. Next on my list is our home. Besides the fact that it is torn apart and has been for 8 months now. It is our home, it is where I brought Dax to when we came home from the hospital. Daxton and myself is happiest at home. I am also Thankful for the Gospel. I am Thankful for the teachings and the knowledge that I have of it. I am Thankful for the plan of salvation and that my little family can be together forever. I am Thankful for a living Prophet of the Lord. That Pres. Monson is here to help guide us to a rich and wealthy life and after life (& I'm not meaning monies) I am Thankful for our Parents. My mom is AMAZING and is there for my family and I whenever we need her. My in-laws are such strong people also. My MIL has been battling with cancer since Dax was born. My Dad is grand too!! He knows how to keep Daxton entertained and wrapped around his finger. I am Thankful for my Best Friends! One of which is my sister. We used to HATE eachother and suprisingly enough I couldn't see my life without her as close as she is to me!!
I am Thankful for warm weather. It always cheers up my mood.
I hope that this post has inspired you to take a moment to think about the things that you are greatful for. Take a moment to ponder all of the blessing that you have been given.
