Doodie update!

The day has gone really well! :) Warm, beautiful day today too. *loving it!*

After a slightly shorter nap than usual (to be sure they'd be tired enough at night) we woke them up with and "Look! What's that hanging in the tree?!" Ooh:s and Aah:s over the Easter Bunny's visit and hurrying outside to see what she (he?) had left them in the gift bag. Both were very happy about their Easter egg and the small bunny-soft-toy (as a slightly longer lasting reminder than the chocolate ;) )!

Kids have had loads of out door play with their cousins and after they'd gone back home we got some branches and stuff cleared in the garden (they can be such good little helpers!) and also had our dinner outside too. :) We finally wrapped up the day with a looong bath and little ones were very tired and happy to go to bed...
Anton kept muttering and singing, so obviously missing his "plug". No tears tough! :) Erin didn't want to fall asleep in her bed, not that unusual, and asked for her doodie a few times but was more crying after me who was stuck with sing-song Anton... She knew that the doodies were "Borta!" (= gone!) and finally fell asleep in Stephens arms.
*doing a small and for S embarrassing ;) victory dance!*
I was SO worried about them being panicky and sad over not having the doodies any more and it being much more difficult at bed time. Even if I can't help feeling slightly horrible for taking the doodies away I too feel that it was a good decision and the right time!
AND...! I'm very well aware that we still have some time ahead that might be rough but the good start we've had to a doodie-free life makes me feel positive, we can do this! :) Yay!

Hrmpf! Ja, vad skönt att nattandet gick bra för ER igår för hos oss ville Julia inte alls somna och hon grät med stoooora tårar som trillade ner för kinderna och hon hulkade: "Jag saaa-aaaknar mi-iina nappaar!"

Så, att era slutade med nappar fick min att komma ihåg hur sorgligt det var... eller nåt. *skratt*
