Changes

There are some changes goin' down here in Vogelville. Directly related to one small man, fondly known as Spud.

We made a trip to the Dental Hygienist at the Health Unit today, as I had noticed some white spots on his teeth.

The prognosis? No good. Could be the onset of tooth decay. The good news is we caught it early. The bad news is, it was our fault that it happened. Somewhere along the way we got suckered into the "putting baby to sleep with bottle" routine. I know better. But it was easy and he went to sleep so well, and so I just sorta gave up, and gave in.

So here we are on night one of no bottles. He went to sleep very well with out it at bedtime tonight. I figured we would be OK there, its the middle of the night wake ups that worry me. It has been so easy to get up and throw a bottle of milk in there, guaranteeing a relatively peaceful return to slumber for all involved. Alas, this will no longer be occurring in Vogelville. I have 2 bottles of water prepped in the fridge for the middle of the night. I am anticipating that they will go over much like a lead balloon. Should be a great time.

I am hopeful that by the end of the week, things will be better, and we have all adjusted to this new normal. A girl can hope...right?
