when i pulled hallie aside this morning to tell her that she was mere hours from being done with her paci forever i expected more backlash. maybe i even wanted it. i wanted her to recognize this milestone and how in a blink she will shift from little to big. she was totally fine with it and used words like; fun, good, i'm big. how can she be so nonchalant about this?
by all accounts we are YEARS overdue in this transition. i ignored. i delayed. i made excuses. she loves that darn paci and has not slept one night or taken one nap without it. ever.
but when i was reviewing my pics the other day and saw this one i knew it was time. my little gal looks ready.
so off we went to build-a-bear.
she picked out her new buddy.
she placed her paci inside and watched the salesgirl stitch it up.
so far so good. well done, hallie. well done.

Hmmmm...if I remember correctly, didn't Big Sister find a way to get that paci back out? Good Luck! I dread that day for Levi. He's down to sleeping only, but...he LOVES it so much!
