We decided that it was time for Brady to give up his beloved pluggie(I don't know how it got that name but it's the name that's stuck). He only used it for nap time and bed time, but he was growing quite fond of the little plastic and rubber thing. We didn't want him to get any more attached, so we snipped the tip! I was very nervous about how this was going to turn out. I pictured sleepless nights, no nap times, and my quiet time officially over. However the little man proved us wrong. He did great. We very gently explained to him that his pluggie was broken. So we would give it to him "broken". He didn't even like to put it in his mouth! I was shocked. He continues to remind us that it is "broken", and on the first night when he had it he said to me, "pluggie broken. Mommy fix it?" Sorry buddy.
Anyways, it's been a pleasant transition without his little soother. And we are VERY thankful for that.
I found some old pictures of Brady with his pluggie. Here they are...just to remember the beloved pluggie:)
I love this picture. A great reminder of our life in San Francisco. We resorted to the pluggie often for our sanity in restaurants. As well as the bjorn. :)
And of course on airplanes. Especially at 6 in the morning.
And for our sanity again. On family road trips.
oh no...not the pluggie! nice job...i'm so impressed he still takes naps, that is awesome. i'm so scared to say goodbye to nap time...we are still at nap and bedtime...hmmm
