kim - it is horrible to think of those priceless memories gone, but they are always in our hearts.

vic - i agree i have limited Archie's to bed time only as he doesn't talk during the day with his dummy he just grunts, it took a few days of sooking but now he doesn't have an issue with not having it during the day. When Archie puts the dummy in his mouth and starts sucking his whole face changes to this hypnotic gaze, that is what i find makes me feel too guilty to think about taking it away at night time, plus i think what if he hysterically screams for three nights straight, i can't just give it back or he'll just be confused. i think i think too much, life would be much more straight forward if i didn't spend so much time thinking.....

Archie was an absolute angel today, not a single whinge or tanty!!!!!!! And no dummy, hey maybe thats why he wasn't as whingy, interesting....Archie is very close to saying 'love you' he tries to copy but doesn't say the proper words yet, can't wait til he says that i have been hanging out to hear that since i was pg.

sara - hope things are going okay tonight, no more DTD!
