Good-bye Paci!

Cooper is officially done with his paci (or "pa pa" as he likes to call it), yea!!! I am so relieved that it's over and went well. I have been worrying about it for awhile because he LOVES his paci and always has it for nap and bed. We kind of "talked it up" about being a big boy and no longer needing a paci for a few days, and so by Sat, the day he stopped using it, he pretty much knew it was going to happen. Actually, Sat morning I said "yea, today you're a big boy!" and he said "and no more paci!" So he was prepared. But he still cried for it that night, but only for about 45 minutes. I was prepared for hours of crying. The worst part was in the middle of him crying for the paci and saying "pleeeease" in a very pleading voice, he sat up and put his hands up like he was asking a question and asked "where'd paci go?" Over and over in a sad voice. It was SO sad. At least for me it was! But thank goodness, by Tues night he didn't even really ask for it anymore. A miracle!



Here's Cooper on the last night with his beloved paci.







The first morning after paci we woke up and the paci fairy had left him a new thomas train. Then he got to have waffles and syrup which he loves. NO MORE PACI, yea!!!!
