Just so you know

No more passies at the Rush House!!!

YAY, Beau has always loved his passy and I thought it was going to break my heart to take it from him. We tried to take it away when he turned 2 in July but at the same time we switched him to a big boy bed and it proved to be too much at once; we caved and gave the passy back.  Last week Ben put Beau to bed and they had a "talk "about being a big boy.  Now that he can pee pee in the potty he is a big boy and only babies use passies.  Beau was in agreement and ever since we have had no passies.  I thought there was going to be crying and screaming.... but I was wrong, Beau has not once cried for his passy.  Everyonce in a while he will ask about it and I will remind him that he is a big boy and big boys don't use passies- Beau will say, Oh Yea, Big Boy, and go on about his day.   

One milestone down a bizillion to go....

He is a recient picture of Avery.  The girls that keep her at playschool made a banner for October and put everyones picture on a pumpkin.  This is Avery's picture, isn't it sweet- she was even smiling.  They took more pictures yesterday, I will post them as soon as they email them to me.  The girls that keep Avery are wonderful, they take wonderful care of the infants and spend time playing and having conversations with them.  They have made returning to work a joy and I appreciate them very much.  

Beau and Avery go to the same school so they see each other often and go out on the playground together. It will be alot of fun next year when Avery can walk and actually play on the playground with Beau.
