BYE BYE PACI!!!

I had tried to post this in July when we did this but I had a very hard time adding the pictures and it didn't work out so here it is....

We had decided that it was time for Emery to give her paci up and thought what better way than for her to do it herself!! We bought a bunch of balloons and invited Emery's cousins Rebekah and Ellie over and we had a "Bye, Bye Paci Party". We had Emery gather up all of her Paci's and tie them to the strings of the balloons. We went outside and told Emery to let her Paci's go up to heaven for the new little babies. I don't think she really understood that but after much coaxing she finally let them go!! We waved them good-bye and then went inside and ate Rice Krispie treats to celebrate Emery being a BIG GIRL!! That night when we put her to bed she did cry saying "Paci, Boon, Sky" "Bye-Bye Paci". It took her about 2-3 days of talking through it and then she was fine going to bed without it.
