You'll never believe this--I'm still scratching my head. Yesterday Hannah woke up and told Chad she was ready for the Paci Fairy to come take her pacis to all the new babies of the world. So, throughout the day I talked to her about it and made sure she understood that once the paci fairy worked her magic on our house, there would be NO MORE pacis ...EVER. She agreed. !!!! So, Chad and I picked our jaws up off the floor and tried to act normal. I offered to buy a special, colorful gift bag for her leave all her pacis in for the fairy,..but she just wanted to stick them all in a ziplock baggie. She was concerned about her germs still being on the pacis, so we washed each one, then she said she needed to get them wet with her mouth one more time. I watched as she sucked each bink one last time, and then placed them (ever so gently) in the bag. Then she said "Mommy, I love my pacis SOOO much!!" That's when I started to cry....lol. I never thought I'd be emotional over this...I mean, I wanted those pacis gone more than anyone! But Hannah is not a baby anymore, and way too sweet for her own good....and that makes me a very mushy, teary Mommy.
So, I tried hard not to let her see me cry....while Chad laughed at me and said "Good riddance, pacis!!" She never asked for them last night after she went to bed, although it did take her a good while to fall asleep without them. She was probably up until 10 or so, but she never cried or begged for them. Thank goodness!!
I had fun playing Paci Fairy. I knew Hannah wanted this Dora House...which retails for over 100$....so I also knew she wouldn't be getting it. But for some reason the Gods were shining down on me because I found that Dora House at Walmart for 30$!!! It was the only one on the shelf and had been marked down because it had been returned and repackaged. I dumped it out right there in the aisle... it worked and had most of the pieces. Too cool!
Hannah slept all night without pacis and woke up a little before 6 this morning. She said "Is it morning time?..Did she bring the Dora House?" She was so happy to see it sitting right where she'd left her pacis for the Fairy. She's been playing with it all morning.
What fun!
