Today I stayed home with Mommy. One of Misty's daughters was sick (turns out she has strep). She sent a text to let Mommy know. She was still willing to let me go and said she would try and keep her daughter isolated but Mommy decided to keep me home. I was sick already a couple of weeks ago and Mommy had to stay home 3 days until I got better and she didn't want that to happen again. Mommy and I watched the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and when I saw a train I said, "Choo choo" and then this evening I said, "eyes". I was pointing to my ears when I said it but those are really the only two I mix up sometimes. We went to Mommy's school and I got to meet some of her students. I climbed right up into one of the desks in Mrs. Johnston's room. Then we went and got Daddy for lunch at McDonald's. I got to eat an ice cream cone that was just my size. It was SO good! Daddy let me play with his headlamp and I explored all the dark spots down the back hallway. It was lots of fun! Mommy figured that since it was going to be a 3 day weekend that it was the perfect time to "detugger"(pacifier) me. She took it away when I got out of bed this morning and then hid all the others. It's now been over 14 hours that I've been tuggerless. I got a little fussy for it and went looking in the usual spots for one but I think I did pretty good. It took me about 5 minutes to fall asleep at nap time. For bed it was a little tougher and took about 40 minutes. It's going to be tough but I think I can do it. On another note I'm drinking small bits of milk again. Woo hoo!
