Goodbye Pacifiers!

Yesterday we pushed up the date to get rid of the girls' pacifiers. Originally we were planning to do it on their third birthday (which would have been next week), but then in the morning they were throwing their pacifiers out of the bed. So in a quick ceremony we had the girls say goodbye to their pacifiers and had them throw it away. For the past few weeks we have been prepping them up for this moment. We'd tell them that they are big girls now and that they don't need their 'pacis' anymore (so no more crying). When it was time to put them for their naps and for bedtime, they whimpered and cried (Natalie more so then Vanessa). In place of their 'pacis' they snuggled up with their stuffed dogs that they got from Singapore. Pretty soon we are planning to transition them to toddler beds and hopefully potty train them. Can't wait to go diaper free.
