We're still pappy free
It's been a little over 2 days since we got rid of the pappy. He did good his first night and then received his prize the next morning. He got a new game and control for his V-Smile game system. He was thrilled. Last night was a rough go because he wanted his pappy. He was crying and whining about it. We told him only babies use pappies and that he was a big boy. He then told us that he wanted to be a baby and didn't want to be a big boy anymore. It broke my heart. But finally he gave it up and went to sleep. Naps go a lot smoother than bedtime. Although as I typed that Jon Kent comes walking down the hall... to which he just got.. "Go to bed." thrown back at him. He went back.. ANYWAY.. naps *usually go smoother than bedtime. I'm hoping in the next week this will all be behind us and we can close this chapter. I know one thing for sure.. we are getting rid of Nathan's pappy as soon as he starts spitting it back out at us. That's the way we did Zoey and it worked so I'm going to do the same with Nathan. I do NOT want to go through this again!

Keep at it hon! It's so hard when we see our babies yearning for something, whether they need it or it's good for them or not. Stick to that consistency and it'll pay off! You're a good Momma, it's a rough transition for John Kent, but he'll get through it and it'll be one more phase you've gone through.

It's so tough when you have to take away a comfort object. You're right on though, he'll fine another way to comfort himself and in no time he won't even be thinking about it anymore.
...and no worries, I think they all go through phases where they say they wish they were babies and don't want to act big. I'd just make a 'big deal' about the big kid stuff we would do...even helping in the grocery store, 'a baby couldn't help mom find the peanut butter but a big kid could.' ..that kind of thing ;)
The photos are adorable.
Y'all have a good one~
