I'll start with the first one. Drew FINALLY gave up his paci... on his own! I had decided that I would take it away at the start of Christmas break... Dec. 19th. But he had other plans I guess. Last night he took a bunch of his pacis and started cutting the nipples off of them. I about freaked when I saw him do it... because frankly I was tired and I knew that we would have a long night ahead of us if he didn't have a paci. As he was cutting them up he said, " I'm not a baby anymore and I don't need these". Sigh... I know you're not a baby... but you're MY baby.
See... everyone else was bothered by the fact that he still had that damn paci. Frankly... I just didn't care. I took the bottle from him right at a year ( just like all the dr.'s recommend). He was potty trained right on time. And he slept through the night.... oh yeah I forgot.. he STILL doesn't sleep through the night. =P Anyways... his paci just didn't bother me. It was a comfort item to him and to me for that matter. haha I could actually get him to sit for 5 minutes if I gave him that paci. ;) And frankly I was thrilled that he had used a paci and not his thumb ( or his wrist like my silly little nephew :) ). I knew that eventually he would give it up... I just wasn't quite prepared for it to be last night!
So night time rolls around and we begin the 3 hour saga of trying to get to sleep. This poor little guy was MISERABLE... and so was his poor mommy. =P He cried and cried and begged me to pull them out of the trash can and tape them up. Little did he know that I still have a dozen of them hidden! I was soo close to caving and giving to him... but I knew it was time. At one point he begged me to give him my finger. I asked him why... he told me he needed something to chew on. Um yea... not happening. lol I finally got him to sleep by rocking him like an infant... I told you he was still my baby. ;)
He woke up this morning all excited to see what the paci fairy left for him. Brooke had told him last night that he would get a present for giving up his pacis. Oh SHIT! Guess it's time to pull out a christmas gift and plop it on the counter. He happened to run downstairs while I was in the shower and I knew he was going to be one very upset little boy. Instead... he comes running into the bathroom to tell me that the paci fairy left him a Spiderman! Huh? Maybe there really is a paci fairy... and if so maybe there really is a Santa too. In which case... I'm going to save a lot of money this year. lol Then it dawns on me... Matt went into work for a few hours this morning. He confessed that he went to Walmart at 4am to get him a Spiderman. If that's not the sweetest thing ever. :)
Our 2nd major event! Hannah got her braces on today! She insisted on getting the kind where you can get the different colored bands with them.. so right now she has pink bands. =P She definitely looks like quite the teenager with them on. She's not liking them so much right now... but I know from experience that they are sooo worth it in the end! She wanted to eat Skittles today and was none too happy with me when I said no! Talk about wrecking them in no time flat. I just invested 6 THOUSAND DOLLARS in that kid's mouth! Do you know how many Vegas trips I could take for that kind of money? haha She had better take good care of those suckers!!
