Bye-bye na-night (aka paci)

Pawsome pony - $18.00
Blue plaid shirt - $6.00
Carpenter pants - $6.00
NO MORE PACI - PRICELESS!!

Carter is na-night free... Thanks to a dear friend Susan, we decided to take Carter to Build-a-Bear and allow him to pick out an animal to stuff his paci into. Brilliant - I know!! He picked out the tackiest animal in the place.... and without hesitation put his na-night right into his stomach along side of all his stuffing and three hearts - one from Carter, one from me, and one from Josh. Carter was so focused on picking out clothes for his pony he hardly even realized what was going on. They had all kinds of fun stuff to choose from – yet, he picked the simplest plaid shirt with matching khaki pants. Carter helped make Nay-Nay’s birth certificate – then the nice lady put him in his stable (box) and off we went. That evening we joined my mom & sister at a Japanese steak house. Carter was thrilled to watch the man cook for us!! When it was time for bed we weren’t quite sure what was ahead…. Carter asked about his na-night a few times, we reminded him it was inside of Nay-Nay’s belly and he could snuggle with it whenever he wanted to. The rest is history…… Now let’s hope transitioning into a big boy bed will go just as smoothly!

Waiting in line for his stuffing!

Bye bye na-night!

Josh making sure it is in there good! We didn't want him to think he could tear that pony up to get it out :-)

A proud new owner of a little pony!

Sorry the pictures aren't that great - I totally forgot our good camera. I will get a close up of Nay-Nay soon and post!

Great job Carter! The last picture is really cute. (what a rip on the prices though! can't they cut people a break???)

Yay Carter!! Great idea!

What a great idea! Luke never really took one, but I have a feeling that Lilly is going to be a binky addict, so I might have to try this in a few years.

How are you feeling? Just found out I'm going to me an aunt again around March 24th. I swear my brother plans his children right after mine, so he can have all of the hand me downs :)
