Growing up is bitter sweet

Paci Be Gone
Well, our beloved WubbaNub has exited the building... Last week, Brendan bit the tip off of his last pacifier, and we cleaned up the edges so he wouldn't swallow any stray pieces and well.... he didn't want it anymore.  Instead of replacing it we decided to try out the lack of the little yellow duckie that we have all grown to love for 15months or so.  It has been a bit of an adjustment, but after 1 week we have survived.  It's moments like this that I realize how bitter sweet it is that B is growing up into a little boy and not a baby.

Night Night Time
One of the greatest gifts that we have gained from school is that B is easier to lay down to go night night or nap.  He of course needs his Bat, but now add in the blankie.  He lays flat on his back raises his arms above his head... lets me tuck in blanket all around him... snug as a bug in a rug... he reaches down and pulls blankie tighter...  within 10-15 minutes he is out...  again, bitter sweet that he lays under a blanket to sleep for almost half the night... such a big boy..


XOXO - Mark & Kay
