Yeah! We are doing much better now that Lucy has overcome some of her withdrawel symptoms and is used to the idea of no nuk. She made it through night number 2 without waking until 5:45, she had a few requests (a drink, some rocking, books in her bed) and then was back to sleep until 8am. She also took a great nap and as Ian said, "like a teenager, couldn't be woken up" at naptime. She is falling to sleep in record time now as well, so, as soon as we can get through an entire night without her waking, then we will have true success!
On another note: we do believe sometimes that instead of a 2 1/2 year old, we have a teenage girl in the house. She is bossy, she is overly dramatic and makes grossly exaggerated statements. Today when Ian tried to wake her at naptime, not only would she not wake up, but she kept covering her eyes and telling him that she needed to sleep more. This was followed up by a couple hours of her snacking non-stop on everything from a box of raisins, to a bowl of popcorn, crackers and rice cakes to a pear, etc. She downed 2 cups of whole milk and then without any time between snacks and dinner insisted that we feed her her dinner before it was even finished. So the hunger was marginally teenage-like but the real kicker was the dramatic statement: "I never get anything to eat. I am always hungry. You never give me any food." If her face starts breaking out, boys start calling and she insists that we drop her off a block before the playground so she can arrive without her parents around, we'll let you know (and promptly lock her in her room until she is 16!)
