Bye Bye Passy



Sophie is a passy girl. She has been since she was tiny. Everyone told me to take it away when she was 1 but I didn't listen. She has only grown more attached to it in the past 6 months. She wants it all the time, cant sleep without it and i think she really loves it! Well, it has been a very challenging week for Sophie. She was just getting over her chicken pox when we went to Brady's wedding down in Fountain Green. While we were there she lost her passy. Bodi and I decided right there that we were going to put an end to the passy. After a two hour car ride home with begging, pleading and lots of crying we made it home. It took us two more hours to put her to bed that night. We stayed strong and didn't give it to her the next day. We fought with her to take a nap for 3 hours. She cried, screamed, and worked herself up a real good fit. We finally gave up on the nap and let her play. She may be a stubborn little things but I knew that she needed a nap. She fell asleep standing up next to the chair and slept like that for a few hours.
She really has been a good girl through the whole thing. She is still looking for it everywhere we go but I think we have made it through the hard stuff.

Congrats!! I'm jealous. Joshua still has a pacifier at night. I think we are just too scared to take it away. We will definitely be standing up to him soon though and saying bye bye to the pacifier. At least Morgan doesn't take one, she's a blankie baby herself.
