Bye Bye Paci- Chooo Chooo

Samantha was so excited to go ride the train this morning (She deserved it).

 

 Afterwards, we had lunch with Grandma and PaPa, although Sammie didn't want to eat what we were having. So, she had her own special snack and enjoyed it outside in the beautiful sunshine!

Our big news of the day is that Samantha is too big for her paci. She has agreed that Baby Stella needs them. Last night in a fit after bedtime, Samantha lost her paci, so I told her it was Baby Stella's now. I got her back to sleep by rocking her, but when I put her down she rolled over and said she needed her paci. I explained to her that she is a big girl and doesn't need it like Baby Stella does; she agreed, rolled over, and that was it. This morning we collected all the pacis and put them in a special bag that we made for Stella and Samantha has been paci-free since... And doing a great job!
(We just remind her that she's a big girl and Baby Stella needs them because she's so little and doesn't have any teeth.)
We are so proud of Samantha, as she is of herself. We are so fortunate that she made the transition easy! That's just her style.  What a girl!
