Bye Bye Paci

Yesterday we said GOOD BYE to our Paci! Kate has been saying that she wants to give her pacis to baby Whit but that was not the timing that I was thinking of so instead we got her excited about giving her pacis to our neighbors little girl Hollis. We wrapped them up in a bag with a bow and we were off down the street to give our prized possessions away.

Kate was super excited to give her pacis to baby Hollis and had more fun holding her and playing with her. It was looking like this was going to be a piece of cake!!
For giving up her pacis Kate got a big girl scooter. However the minute we got back home Kate asked for her paci and I had to remind her that we gave them to baby Hollis and that instead now we have a big girl scooter to play with.
And I am happy to report that after crying on and off for a little less than an hour last night Kate slept through the night really well without her paci. She did wake up early in the morning asking for it but after a little back rubbing went right back to sleep. So the process was not as painful as I had thought it would be. And as with all other transitions with children I am hoping that in a few days everything will be totally normal and it will be like the paci never existed!!

Way to go Kate! I think it's harder for the parents to actually get up the nerve to get rid of the paci than it really is to DO IT! (That was our case.) So, Yay MaMa too! Hope you are feeling well!

Way to go Kate! Probably good that you didn't wait on Whit to get here to do that. :) Miss seeing you girl, and I hope you are feeling well.

We just did that last month. I was expecting a nightmare but (like Kate) wasn't all that bad....we actually left them at my parents house and she was convinced that the dog ate them :)

Kate, who can I give my 18 pacis to? I need to get rid of mine as well. Help me with this please.
