"Come what may, and love it!......Yet in spite of discouragement and adversity, those who are happiest seem to have a way of learning from difficult times, becoming stronger, wiser, and happier as a result." ~ Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

4 Naps, 3 nights, and 72 hours

It's a miracle! Tuesday morning I woke up and decided we had to do some changing around here. I'm only about 7 weeks away from the arrival of the new baby and Noah just isn't ready. So, I decided Tuesday was the day to get rid of his "mimi" (AKA paci). I cut the tip off and told him it was broken. He tried it several times, throwing it to the ground between each attempt. After crying for an hour he was finally tired enough to go to sleep without it. That was the last time he saw it. I can tell he wants it sometimes but he's doing pretty good. My little boy is growing up. He even sleeps part of the night in his toddler bed. I'm trading a little snuggling time for the loss of the mimi. This baby will be here before I know it.

I'm a proud sista'!!! Really though, it can be tough to get rid of the "comfort" item. Especially when it means you might have to sacrifice something else. & I can't believe you only have 7 weeksleft, that is just craziness!!! Sounds like you guys had a good Thanksgiving. Love ya'

That is such a good idea about cutting it and telling him it is broken. GENIUS!!! I am lucky, the only one totally attached to a binky was Glory and my friend broke her of it. We went out of town and my friend watched the kids. When we came back, no more pacifier!! Congratulations!! Next step--potty trainin. (ugh!) Let me know if you have any genius ideas for that milestone. I am so not looking forward to that one.:0)
