Lydia the Big Girl . . .Errr Little Girl

Lydia is so proud of her big girl status. Now that she's three, she's proud of her big girl panties and is quick to tell anyone who will listen how big she really is. "I a big girl. Paul is a big boy. Joel is little." We've been trying to get her to give up the binki, now that she's a big girl and all. Yesterday we talked about the binki again and we all agreed (including Lydia) that it would be a good idea to give the binkis to her new baby cousin, who is very little. Last night Lydia went to bed without her binki. Ten minutes later she came out and said, "Daddy, I want my pink binki." "Why do you want your binki? You don't need your binki." "Daddy, (in the most pitiful voice possible) I a little girl."
