The Big Farewell, Almost

After much preparation, Lillie put her mas, aka pacifiers, in an envelope and mailed them to Baby Watson, or Baby Wats as she likes to call him. You might be wondering what kind of preparation went into getting rid of the ma. We found a book called Pacifiers Are Not Forever, which got many laughs at Barnes and Noble when we were looking for it, and read it many, many times. We made a special trip to the store to get the right kind of envelope to mail them off in, and we have also been talking about giving it to Baby Watson for a while. (I think I might have too much free time on my hands!!) After we put them in the mail, we went to her first Gymboree class as a reward. Yesterday was her first day without it, and she did great until it was time for bed. Finally after waking up three times before 10:00 and inconsolable crying, I caved and gave her a spear that I hidden away just in case. So, she is without it all day, except for naps and bedtime. Surprisingly it is going very well!
