Happy Christmas

Bye, Bye Paci

     We are officially Paci free. After 1 year of pure crap I have gone and done it. Taking 2 weeks was not long but too long all at the same time. I was tired of telling her to go and put her paci back in her bed. Remarkably smart, she would put it in her bed, however I would continually find it in her mouth at some point in the day. I just threw them away, I was tired of waking up in the middle of the night to find it I was just done.

Treats

     Pasha and I don't have a lot of unnatural sugar in the home, we do have it but we are trying to go towards the more natural sugars, hence going to Starbucks every now and again is okay. Winter months come and Nastya has the hot coca and I get a hot coffee in the summer we both get frappucinos but one with and the other without coffee.
