Binky Update

Poor baby!  Ellen is taking it pretty hard.  Here is what has happened the past two nights...

The first night she went to bed at usual time and woke up around 1am.  I was able to lie down with her and get her back to sleep.  Two hours later she woke up again and was devastated.  She came to our room sobbing. Sobbing, not mad.  She was SO sad.  After I consoled her and got her to calm down, she remembered that she was due a gift, so asked if the fairy had come.  When she saw the baby doll that she brought her, she perked up, went into mommy/grown up mode... and played for the next two hours!

After an exhausting night, she was okay the next morning.

Last night was a little better during the night.  She got up, but went back to sleep pretty quickly.  The part I will always remember, however, is the time during our bedtime routine.  As we were sitting on her bed, we talked again about how the fairy took her binky to another baby.  She said, very sadly, that she wanted it to come back and get the baby doll and leave her binky.  When I told her that wouldn't happen she began to sob again.  It felt like she had lost her best friend, which in a way she had.

For now her little heart is broken : -(
