Emerson with her paci for the last time
Saying goodbye
in the garbage
At the babies 12 month appointment our doctor told us that it was time to take away the bottles and Emerson's pacifier. Blake never used a pacifier. Over a period of about a month we were able to eliminate the bottles. A few weeks ago we decided it was time for the paci. We told Emerson that she was a big girl and it was time to say bye-bye to her ba-ba (that's what she called it). At first she was all smiles saying bu-bye to her paci. Then we opened the garbage can and told her to put it in there. That is when she realized what was happening and the tears started. She did, however, put it in the garbage. Crying she kept saying "bu-bye" over and over and waving to the garbage. We put her to bed and she cried, "Ma-Ma, Ba-Ba" for about 10 minutes. It was hard not to give in! The next day she asked for it for her nap and bedtime, but did not cry. Now she doesn't even ask for it. What a big girl!
