Bye Bye Paci!

I am slightly embarrassed, but proud to say that Ainslee is finally paci free!  This girl is/was a complete paci addict.  She only got it at nap and bedtime for the last couple of years, but it was a vital part in getting her to sleep.  Well, the other morning she came in our room frantic because she couldn't find it.  I went into her room and could not find it anywhere and neither could Jason.  I think this was the motivation we needed to let it go... We told her the paci fairy must have come to take it away while she was sleeping.  She has gone to bed without it for 5 nights now!  The bad news....naps have been non-existent and as soon as she wakes up in the morning, she is up for good (around 6:45-7:00).  Ugh.  This has made for some long days for Mommy, but I am so proud of my big girl!  Don't worry, Ellie (the elephant) isn't going anywhere. :)
