We have a family rule... on your 3rd Birthday you give away your paci! All 4 of my kids have taken a paci. After their first birthday I am really strict about no paci out of bed. But, 3 seems like a pretty easy age to take it away because they fully understand and can talk it through with you. So, as McLleyton's birthday approached we were having a few conversations about giving it away. He was down to his very last paci because he had been biting them for the past few months. Three nights before he turned 3 I wasn't sure where his paci was as we tucked him into bed (it was under his bed :)). Matt was tucking him in and asked him if he was ready to be done with it ... true to who he is McLleyton said "yes, I think I'm ready!" He went to bed that night without a tear ... or even a word! Matt and I were both shocked! He has not cried or even asked for it once since! Both of the girls had a really hard time giving it up. They cried for the first few nights and really never napped after it was gone. McLleyton didn't nap the first 2 days, but since then he has been!! So, proud of what a BIG boy he is :)!!
He wanted to mail it to his new cousin Adelyn... so we made a package and sent his cool football paci off!!
As a reward I told him he could pick any candy he wanted! Of course he picked the biggest one (which he enjoyed for a few minutes that then forgot about :))...
Here he is ... pretty excited about it!!
I told him to put it in for one last time... he thought that was pretty funny and couldn't stop laughing!
And one more random one from this morning... just because they are cute in their PJ's!
