Dee(-Dee) Day

This morning I took away Arabella's pacifier (her dee-dee). I told her she can have it at nap and bedtime. I had planned to take it away all together, but I decided a couple of days ago to not go total removal. My plan to distract her today, a trip to the ZOO. She is very excited, and has spent more time than usual getting dressed.
Yesterday I finished painting the studio, covered a table with canvas (denim, actually, it was cheaper and just as thick), put up more shelving, and Michael took the four huge pedestals over to MJ's for storage. There is still some stuff to get put away, but the studio is nearly ready!
