First it was giving up the crib. Then it was giving up the diapers. Then (finally!!!) it was giving up the pacifiers. It's hard work being two.
Two weeks ago Penelope gave her pacifiers away to the little baby rabbit who frequents our back yard. After much convincing, Penelope decided that he needed them more than she did. So on our way to school one morning we ceremoniously deposited all of the pacifiers on the grass in the middle of the backyard, called out to the baby rabbit that they were for him, and sadly waved goodbye.
As soon as we got home from school, Penelope ran into the backyard to check and see if they were gone. Indeed they were. (Thanks to some incognito work from Daddy.)
This was the transition we were all dreading the most. Neither of us could conceive how Penelope would be lured into dreamland without her beloved "paci's." But, surprisingly, she hasn't looked back. Thank you baby rabbit!
