Some Progress, Some Regress - The Days of Pooklet

pooklet news...

The Pooklet has had a bad habit of pressing the green, lit button on our printer, and has been consequently spanked on occasion for his unrepentant persistence in this disobedience, but today the wifey saw him out of the corner of her eye reach for it, and then quickly withdraw his hand, wincing, as if by a phantom admonition.
Good job, timid pookling!

This has been a week of binky withdrawal, as we've denied him his cherished binky at night in his crib. He's been a bit fragile as a result so we've resumed the old days of patting his side to avoid screaming and cries for Dad-dy (the one who puts him down usually). It did the trick last night, and tonight I patted him briefly. But when I stopped, he patted his side as if to beg me to continue. After two minutes of patting, and with a duck blanky over his face, he went quiet, and I left the room.
