"Paddy's" final farewell

Well, I must say, Gavin is doing much better today! He actually did great. Quitting the passy cold turkey was definately the best way for us to go. I let him know that it is gone and now he seems to be okay with that. On Saturday it took him almost an hour to go down for a nap and he was wailing for most of the day. But, by the time bed time rolled around, he went to sleep without even asking for it. Then Sunday came. . . Sunday's are alwasy hard for church going babies. He had a VERY hard time in his sunday school class and cried so hard that he eventually fell asleep. He took another nap at home and seemed to be fine, but then it was back to church. He cried a lot more, so loud I could hear him during awana. He went to bed fine again though, with out even mentioning his paddy. When he woke up this morning I went to go and get him and he didn't even want to brng his blankie along. Today he has been playing great and not even seeming to notice or remember his loss. It was a rough few days, but definately worth it!! I can now say with confidence, Our house is a passy free zone!

We took Isaac's nuk away after his first birthday and he missed it for a few days too! Mostly he cried a lot the first night he had to go to bed without it:( They are still worth it though for the many MORE calm moments they create!
