Bye bye pappy!!!! It's official, as of this morning Andrew now has no more pappy's to comfort him at night. He hung them all in a little bag last night over his bed for the pappy fairy to come take to give to a little baby and left some money for him to go buy a toy of his choice with.
I'm sure most of you are thinking that we are absolutely crazy to still have him using a pacifier at night anyways, but there is good reason I promise. We talked to the pediatrician about it and they assured us better to have him sucking on a pacifier than his thumb, which is what happened if we took it away from him. My dad noticed a while back that his teeth were starting to get a little messed up from the pacifier and so we decided to get tough. It helps that Davis has never been very attached to his pacifiers, and we just decided to take his away as well. So a few nights ago we made the big step and then last night we gave them away for good.
It took him a little longer to fall asleep and he ended up sucking on the tail of his stuffed animal monkey to fall asleep, but at least he did so and there was not a tear shed over the whole thing. This morning he woke up grinning from ear to ear and looked up to check his bag for the money the pappy fairy left. So needles to say we will be heading to Toys'R'Us later today!
