As for getting rid of the pacifier, we did two things. With one kid we talked about the ancient Egyptians and how they buried their loved ones with items they valued. (Yes, my husband used to be an archaeologist) Our cat had just been killed by a neighbor's dog and we decided that Simon might need the binkies in the afterlife more than our son needed them right then. So we buried about a dozen pacifiers with our cat. And we only had one night of fussing about it. With the youngest we tied all the binkies to big helium balloons and let them go for all of the baby birds who...you know..."might need them". It worked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21720308.post-19279153580256425422008-02-04T10:25:00.000-06:002008-02-04T10:25:00.000-06:00Cute bed! Love it!Cute bed!

What a momentous occasion the transition from crib to big boy bed, I know I stressed over it with both my kids. Luckily, neither one of them were sad to leave their cribs. So sweet that Big sister sleeps in the trundle.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298099759296161682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21720308.post-62510634102058921142008-02-03T17:12:00.000-06:002008-02-03T17:12:00.000-06:00Great big boy bed, and those quilts are lovely!
