last night charlie went to bed without his bottle - he had a sippy cup instead with his milk - this is a big thing for him, he is quite attached to his bottle, he would use it all day if i let him! also going to say goodbye to his dummies today, when david comes home we are going to go to the beach and let charlie throw them in the sea and say goodbye (he loves to throw things in the sea - not sure he will like to throw his dummies though!!) I will also take his bottles and throw them in as well - you watch we will get fined for littering lol!!!! the thing is he is only 2, but he is the size of a three year old so he looks too big to have a dummy now. but we will keep one spare for emergencies! I have to accept that he is not really a baby anymore, gosh my first baby has gone to school and my little baby is not really a baby now, maybe thats why I am so broody!!!
