Bye Bye Paci!

Well, it had to happen sometime, today is the day, it is not the best day for this to have happened because Hannah is sick. She had a high fever all day yesterday and today her eczema is bad because of the fever, so she is very itchy. But, we have no choice. Today the paci had to go. It was getting a tear in it and if it fell off while she was sleeping she could choke. We have been preparing Hannah the last few weeks that it would soon be time for her to get rid of the paci. When we were in Huntsville she almost gave it to her new cousin Claire.

One night last week we couldn't find it (it is the only one we have left and I vowed once it was lost that was it), I asked her where she left it, she said she gave it to baby Claire. I said that was good and that she needed it more than Hannah did. Well, a couple of minutes later we found the paci in her bed.

Today I told her, your paci is starting to break, you need to either throw it away or mail it to baby Claire. So she said she wanted to mail it to baby Claire.

We wrote baby Claire a note that said "Here is my paci, I hope you take good care of it. I am a big girl now and so you need it more than I do" or something like that....
She dropped it down in there and she wanted to lick the envelope herself (I was a bit worried about her licking it, there is probably corn in the adhesive, but I let her do it anyway)

Mommy couldn't find any stamps and since the mailman hadn't come for the day we just set the package by the door for Daddy to mail for us. Tonight we are going to go to Wal-mart and get a big girl toy! Hooray! She called Grani and Grammy and Aunt Johnna to let them know that she is a big girl and that she mailed her paci to baby Claire.
