Goodbyes

This week we said goodbye to some very good friends. And although these goodbyes were made to inanimate objects, they were still difficult. First, we said goodbye to my trusty Honda of 9 years. We replaced it with a Kia Sorrento that seems to fit our lifestyle a little bit better and also has a much better paint job. We also said goodbye to a very dear friend of Harrison's....his pacy. Or as he refers to it, his "say". I'm not going to say that this is the final goodbye because as we found out last night, Harrison has a secret stash that we don't know about. But he is getting the picture and he knows that the "says" have been traded for a much better prize...spider man figurines. This trade was made possible by the say fairy who just so happens to be a very speedy fairy. We hung the "says" out before dinner and by the time Harrison was finished with dinner, the fairy made her swap. Magic!

Harrison has been using his pacy for sleeping and the occasional emergency that requires a quick plug in the mouth. And even though the emergency pacy is more for Robert and I than it is Harrison, the pacy NEEDED to come to an immediate stop. Yesterday, Harrison was pacy free for naptime AND bedtime and he did amazingly well. Bedtime probably gets less credit because when Robert and I went to turn off the lights in Harrison's room after he had fallen asleep, we noticed that he had a "say" in his mouth....hence, the secret stash. But we are very hopeful that he is ready to say goodbye and move on to the next obstacle, dare I say it, potty training.
