She's a Big Girl Now (back in February)

To our great delight and relief, Dagny gave up sleeping with a pacifier back in February all on her own.  We'd been talking about it for several weeks before but weren't planning to "pull the plug" until the end of March but one afternoon after nap, she just stood up in her crib and said "I'm all done with this, let's throw it in the trash."  I was shocked but went with it, though I suggested we put all the pacis in a bag for her new cousin (due to be born in late March) and that allowed us to "store" them in case she changed her mind later in the day!

She happily gathered all the pacis from her room and put them in a gift bag along with a toy duck she'd already picked out for the baby.

 That night she slept great without her pacifier and she was even able to nap at school without it the next day!  When I picked up the kids that afternoon, we went out to buy a "No Paci Present" and she eagerly picked out a cute, soft pink bunny :)

Phew, cross that off our parenting list! Now, potty training....
