Bye Bye

Are you wondering what we're saying "bye bye" to?????

About 5 wks ago now, I decided that the paci phase was over & we were going to be doing away with it.  We started with 1st taking it away at his nap & that 1st day went so well, that I didn't put it in the bed that night either.  He had his burp cloth and was happy as a clam, so no biggy.  I let him adjust to that for a week or so & the next to go was the paci in the car.  That one was harder, but still not that difficult.  I for sure thought that it would be hard, but I'm so glad to be done with it.  He was never allowed to walk around with it in his mouth (I can't stand that - pet peeve of mine for sure!!!).  So, there was no adjusting to that because he wasn't used to having it during the day anyways. 

So, now we've been paci free now for about 5 wks & it's GREAT! 

Our next change to make before the baby gets here is to start working on sleeping in the twin bed that is his in room.  He has a wrought iron day bed in his room & that's going to be his bed a few months after Miss Baby C gets here.  I plan on starting that switch over from the crib to the twin bed at the end of January/February.  Then if it doesn't go well, then we still have an opportunity to put him back in the crib for a few more months & then try again.  Miss Baby C won't be going into Zachary's room until she's on more of a routine of sleeping through the night b/c we don't want her waking him up every few hours at night.  So, that's going to be a play by play once she gets here!!  :)

Anyways, Yay for NO MORE PACI's!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):)
