Here today, Gone tomorrow

This little guy has been our life saver for the past 17 months. It has gotten us through many church services, sleeping through the night, car rides, and much much more. We are starting the process of getting rid of it. I am not sure who is going to be more sad, me and Brett or Thomas. It is our crutch, our quick fix. Now what will we ever do without it?

Why would we do something so crazy??? Well, Thomas is moving up to the next level class in two weeks and apparently that class doesn't allow pacis at all. His current class only tries to give it to them during nap time. I found out the other day that he is also one of two kids that use one. I am so thankful for day-care for this reason. If it weren't for day-care Thomas would probably still be drinking out of a bottle and eating baby food.

For the past few days his teachers haven't been giving it to him for nap time and he has done great and falling asleep without it and taking just as long of naps as usual. He had a slight melt down this morning when I left because he didn't have it and was looking for it. He got past it and he did great the rest of the day. It's 9 o'clock and he STILL hasn't had it. That is HUGE for us and him. I know we are only a few days in, but hopefully he'll forget about it and be over it real quick. Out of sight, out of mind, right? It'll take lots of patience on our part, but we'll get through it one day at a time. Maybe I'll end up with more pictures like this too.
