Getting rid of the B-O-T-T-L-E

So finally I had a break down.. I HAD to get Alex to get rid of her bottle.. or potty training will NEVER come!

So I did it.. I THREW THEM AWAY! I made her watch me do it.. she wasn't happy at all. So I took her to Walmart to pick out some "Big Girl" cups (even though she calls it the "Big Girl Bottle").

I thought to myself that this was going to be long and hard, cause I've made references before about it being like Crack to her.. and well its true.

I warned Felix of what I was doing, and he wasn't too happy either. Cause she uses a bottle to go to sleep, yeah I know, its bad, but if she wont sleep you gotta do what you gotta do. He said that if she cried too much he would be sleeping on the couch, and even kept a pillow and blanket on the couch just in case. That I'm the one who has to deal with it, and then I thought.. ugh.. really?? I'm in this alone?

Well, I'm proud to say we are on day 4 of no b-o-t-t-l-e-s. Good thing she cant spell yet, cause you cant say the word around her. She hasn't even asked for one. Shes went to sleep and nap time without one too. Its kind of scary on how well this has been going. I mean she has her moments but then soon forgets entirely why she was crying. I also introduced juice boxes to her too to give her "cool" ways to drink things.

So, far so good. I'm just worried about this being the quiet before the storm, but its been 4 days now. I think we are past that point.

Now, we tackle potty training!!!!
