Where'd my waci go?

We finally did it! No more paci's(they called them their waci) for Carson and Kylie . We had been feeling bad to take them away, but finally got the courage to do it. I was tired of seeing them in their mouths, every time I turned around. We tried to only let them have them at night, but they always snuck them out of their rooms. I had heard from a few people about how to get rid of them. I liked the idea of having them color an envelope and mail them to babies that needed them. They then got to open the mail box and see it full of treats and rewards. It worked pretty well. Last night was their second night without them. Carson must have been dreaming about his, because he would wake up throughout the night and say "where'd my waci go?". He sounded like a broken record at one point, and Kylie finally yelled out from her room and said "it's in the mailbox Bubby!". It was really funny! We are so glad that we finally got the courage to take them away. Now we just have to make sure that they don't try to steal all of their baby sister's paci's away from her.
Kylie had a great time decorating her envelope

Carson was still grumpy about the whole thing, even after he got his treats!

good for you! I always was one of those mean moms who took the paci's away when they were about a year old...they always seemed to forget about them pretty quick.

That is a really good idea!! Carson looks disapointed that there wasn't a new waci in his treat envelope!! I love that Kylie had to remind him that his waci was in the mailbox...good little woman!!
