Paci - FREE

We are extremely proud of Elise to say that since the evening of her dental appointment Elise is Paci FREE - (with only one minor hiccup the following night). It went a lot smoother than I expected and I can only express my thankfulness to all of you that lifted us up in prayer to help us through this transition because Elise was VERY dependent on it. The first night (evening of her dental appointment) Elise and Mommy went on a Paci hunt looking for her Paci(s). Elise was really looking for them while Mommy was finding them and tucking them away in her pocket. After the hunt was complete, everytime Elise would ask for her "Sassssy" - we would simply say, "We looked for it - where is it?" Then she would say, "Sassy, where ARRRe you?" At first, there was a little bit of tears, but it is now a game. She still asks for it (less and less), but will usually follow her own question with "Sassy, where are you?", and then answer "I don't know". Sometimes there is even a little giggle. All I can say is "Whew!". Glad to have that behind us. :)



Next tasks on the list... Better sleep schedule and Potty Training... "Oh Boy...."
