time. it flies.

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!
