Purple Paci, All Gone?!

YES!!!!! It's been a week and a half and Purple (and pink) paci's are all gone!

Thanks to the lovely "poop" episode last week we've been able to get rid of the paci's once and for all! Addi had so much fun playing with her poo that she even got it on her Paci! We went to the bathroom, threw it in the trash together and that was the end of it...well kind of.

Since Addi has used a paci at bed time since she was a baby it was quite traumatic for her to go to bed w/o it. She was so sad (with tears in her eyes) and so stressed trying to figure out how to fall asleep, but not once did she ever ask for her paci! I was so impressed. She completely understood what had happened and why she could no longer have it. (I completely underestimated her!)
That first night I sat on her floor and held her hand for an hour before she fell asleep. She woke up again at 1:30am and I did the same thing - another hour. She did not take a nap the next day. But that night she was so tired she fell asleep within minutes. And that was the end of it!
