Killing me

Kitten went to the doctor yesterday and it's official - NO MORE NUKKIE. The Dr. talked to Kitten very seriously and told her she couldn't have it anymore.

So we had her color a bag this evening and put her nukkies in it and wrote a note to the fairy that she was a big girl and would try to be brave.

And then it was bedtime. She has been crying and screaming now for 90 minutes and I'm not sure how much longer it will go on before she just falls asleep. This is nearly physical pain.

Oh no! Well, at least it was something that could be taken away. Peanut still sucks her fingers. Just remember you're trying to help Kitten save her teeth. I can just imagine the thoughts flying through your head right now. It's for the best.

Maybe the fairy can leave her a note and a prize for her to help ease the transition. A nice stuffed animal or blanket to sleep with to replace the nukie?

Good luck.

Hold firm. It is, in fact, temporary.

You can do it. You both can do it. It's hard (so hard), but it'll be ok.

How did it go? We're going to be going there eventually, and I fear...

Oh, how miserable for everyone involved! Hopefully the worst is over.

Miserable. Fairy left her a present, but she wasn't bowled over. Still wants the nukkies back.

We'll see what happens tonight.

Fingers crossed! Hopefully things will go better tonight.

Ugh. Hope tonight she (and you) fare better.
