grant officially started mitchell's place today......and well, there's a no paci rule.....as parents we needed this.....someone to push us, to make us ~ i mean grant ~ give up the pap-pap....this should be interesting....
we told grant......"paci is all gone"....yea, he didn't believe us....as a matter of a fact he took himself into his room, found a paci, returned to the bedroom & commenced to watching some tv.....
round one - grant
think, think, think......there is no holiday figure to give it to ~ santa got audrey's, no new baby in the family to give it to, nothing.....first thought - the chipmunks!! i know you have heard me talk about those pesky critters before.....so, "dear grant," we said, "the chipmunks ate it off!!!" ....about that time brett went outside and cut the tip off....
round two - parental units
"my paci broke! my . paci . broke! MY PACI BROKE!!!" .....yes dear angel, your paci is broke....for good.
well as i type this the night is still young......brett has him cuddled up with his blankie ~ which i will NEVER take from him, that will have to be his choice!! ~ sitting in the recliner trying to settle into slumberland....about every 2-3 minutes i hear, "my paci broke, dares a hole in it."....he is just clutching it in his hand...for.the.love...this could be a long night.....hopefully not...
round three - undecided......we shall see tomorrow
i am realizing that this is as difficult for me as him, well almost.....realistically, grant is probably my last baby....i mean we have one of each, two beautiful & healthy children and are quite content.....though the thought does cross my mind from time to time :) so this is just one more thing to "give up"....he is growing up sooo fast, before my very eyes.....and as a mother, well, i'm just a bit sad.....ahhh, this too will pass....tomorrow he will be running me ragged & kicking my butt....i will have to re-read this post often :)
they can't stay sweet babies forever........can they???

Oh Kelly, I feel your pain!! I know this is as hard for you and Brett as it is for Grant! Hang in there! By this time next week you will be sitting back laughing about this!
Awww...how sad, but your post did make me laugh! Can't wait to hear how it all played out...and btw, I'll have to remember that Santa likes paci's! ;-)
