Bubbas. His beloved pacifiers. We have about 20 of them... He has loved them since day 1. We've kinda been talking about taking them to the firestation and how the firemen were going to give them to the new baby boys. Then Olivia told him about the bubba fairy that took her paci's. That was it, he wanted to leave them for the bubba fairy and she was going to bring him Hiro the train. So... he has told us several times that he wanted to give his bubbas to the firemen, but it was never a good day (for us) and honestly, Chris and I just weren't ready.
Weren't ready?
Yes, we weren't ready to give up the convenience of being able to stick a "hush up" bubba in his mouth. Or an "instant go to sleep" bubba in his mouth in the car. It will be harder on us in some cases. But it's time. Our boy is 3 1/2 and he's ready. He didn't even want to suck them one more time. I told him how when the bubba fairy came he would be a big boy and he wouldn't even need them anymore! He said, I just want to sleep with Bobo (stuffed monkey) and doggie.... and my milk.
Ok, so he still has a sippie cup of milk at night.
Big Deal.
We'll tackle that another day... or year...
One step at a time these kids are growing... up.
Sniff sniff...
Good for Jack. He must be so proud of himself. I think it is sweet that Olivia helped him pack them all up and that she lets him sleep in her room- they are pals.
ReplyDeleteOh man... I can't even imagine when this day will arrive for Cody (not even sure where the past 4 months has gone), but when that day arrives when he has to part with his paci, I will definitely be using the fairy approach!
