Meet Bobby

Someone is a little obsessed with Bobby.

Bobby is Paige's pacifier.

We have always called it a paci, but apparently bobby was her version of that word and now it has stuck and we are even calling it "bobby".

We try to let her only have it at night, but we haven't been the strictest with that. 

But Bobby needs to leave us soon...

We also need to potty train (next week!) and transition to a big girl bed so we are making sure we don't have too many big changes at once.

Bobby will be missed but I think blankie will take over just fine when that extra bit of comfort is needed!

Did that really just happen???

Luke and I were laying in his bed reading a Big Brother book tonight. After I got done reading it, he wanted to read it to me so he gave me his paci and read the book. Completely out of the blue, I asked him if he wanted to throw his paci in the garbage. He said, "Yes. I don't need it. I a big brother." So we got out of bed and he threw it away in the bathroom garbage. Did that really just happen???

He only has his paci at naptime and bedtime and only at home. He hasn't taken a paci at daycare since he turned 1. So I have always known that he doesn't NEED it, but I've just let it slide. He has thrown his paci in the baby's crib in the past and "given" it to her, but of course before bedtime, he asks for it again.

I think this time might be for real. I kept telling him how proud I was of him and how he is such a big boy - in big boy underwear, in his big boy bed and no paci! He is now sound asleep :) Did that really just happen??? Yeah!!!
