Goodbye Paci

We officially said goodbye to Madelyn's paci.

We were given a couple of ideas by Madelyn's dentist,

so we took one of those ideas and ran with it.

We took Madelyn to Build a Bear where she picked a kitty cat to stuff.

(kitty cats are her favorite if you don't know that yet)

We had talked about beforehand how we were going to say goodbye to paci

and now that she's a big girl she doesn't need it.

She took her paci, kissed it, said goodbye and stuffed it inside her kitty cat 

while stuffing her with stuffing.

Can I just say this was a very sentimental moment?!?!

She was fine.

But me...

I had to turn away so she wouldn't see me crying.

What is wrong with me?

Just typing this I am almost in tears again.

I think it is just such a monumental turning point that she is no longer

a baby and is growing so big too fast!!

She did such a good job saying goodbye to paci and I am very proud of her for it!

Goodbye paci, hello kitty cat.
