I was looking at pictures from September 2007
& stumbled across this gem.
Tre was 3 months shy of 3 & still using a pacifier.
which we lovingly referred to as his "choo-choo"
Friday night Rod & I formulated a plan.
Saturday we bought the balloons & told T that his choo-choo was going to say bye-bye tomorrow evening.
After church we gave him one last nap with his dear chooch then headed to the park with blue balloons & a new fire truck (aka: bribe)& the remaining pacifier.
We attempted to explain to T that big boys don't need choo-choos
& that it was time to send it to another little boy or girl
who needed one.
& that the best way to send it is through balloon mail.
He was excited.
we let him have one last suck.
tied it to the balloons.
& had him let it go.
The balloons floating above him caught his attention.
until
he remembered that his beloved chooch was sailing away.
forever
& then the tears started...
for both of us.

oh, you're such a cute mommy. i love hearing stories of how different moms get rid of the "binky" habit. it's fun for me to read, because max never got attached to a binky. instead he sucks on a blankie:) which might be worse, i'm not sure. but maybe i'll have to try that trick you used! so cute! even if he did cry :)
Oh I remember that one!!! If I remember correctly... I was there!!!
Very clever! We've never had a pacifier, but I have two thumb suckers who are going to have a hard time...
