A world without mimi's!


For those of you who don't know, we call the pacifier a "mimi". That is just what Owen's sitter called it so it stuck. Over the past week or two Owen has taken his mimi less and less. The last few days he has only had it when he sleeps. Today when I dropped him off at the sitter, I asked her to try to let him go without it for a nap and see how it goes. She called and said he did great of course. All evening he played and never looked or asked for it. So bed time came and after just a few minutes of whimpering off to sleep he fell. WITHOUT A MIMI!!

Oh me oh my! Where is the time going? I know it is all part of growing up but it is all going too fast. First giving up a mimi, and then it will be off to school, and then moving off to college. OK, maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, but still no more mimi's!

It is funny how little things like a pacifier can be such a milestone. So we will see what the world without mimi's has to hold for us. Wish us luck, this is only the first night.
