Big News...Bye Bye Paci!

For quite awhile now, we have been telling Cade that if he throws his pacifier in the garbage, he can get a new bike and helmet. (No, we're not above bribery.) Last Friday morning, he came into our room and said he couldn't find his paci. The day before, Jim had noticed that the pacifier was starting to come apart and was probably getting to the point where it wasn't safe for him to have, so when he couldn't find it, Jim was quick to say, "I think you threw it away and it's riding on the garbage truck now." (This is what they do with their pacifiers at daycare when it's time to get rid of them.) So when Cade was preoccupied, I went to his room, found it and put it away. Saturday, we went and made good on our promise and he hasn't looked back! : ) When it's bedtime and he starts to think about his paci, he just tells us, "I got a new bike and helmet because I'm a big boy and threw my paci away!" Way to go Cader!
