Eric had a work trip in Denver so the girls and I did our best to enjoy the week alone. Claire was in school but I got to leave Paige with a friend so I could go have lunch with Claire and her buds. They were too cute and boy do they love to talk when a visitor is there!! We had soccer pics and practice and a "fun" trip to Costco where we ate pizza for the 3rd time in one week. As much as we missed Daddy we actually kind of enjoyed our girls week. I am sure if he traveled all the time we wouldn't enjoy it as much. Thanks to Facetime we got to see Daddy a lot on the iPad which helps too. I don't know how my mom did it when we were kids and my dad traveled all the time. It's a lot of work!
Claire is back in spring soccer and really loving it. She has a great coach and I think her team is playing well together and getting better every week. It's fun to watch. I am glad to be a soccer mom. This was the perfect for Claire to start this sport. I don't think she was ready for the team aspect before now.
Paige is being 2 and having some whopper tantrums. We let her have a bottle for 2years....don't judge. We finally cold turkey just tossed it last week and at first she did okay but about 3 days later when all the cold turkey advice says things will get better....it got worse. She doesn't ask for her bottle but she seems to be crying about everything and I realize just how much we gave that damn bottle to her now to soothe her, feed her, and put her to sleep. All of which are now much harder. She is hungry and having meltdowns and crying when it's bedtime because she needs something to wind her down. We really used that bottle for a crutch and I admit that I MISS IT! I don't care if she is Suri Cruise and is 5 when she gives it up. I won't do it though. I threw the bottle away. It's gone. I just hope she gets over soon!
