no more na-night

this is the last picture of me with my "na-night" a/k/a my pacifier [and, i can say pacifier perfectly!]. i'm also hanging onto my duckie, one of my favorite "guys," in this photo. my other guys are my new mickey mouse from uncle dennis, aunt andrea, danny and katie, cookie monster, giraffe and bunnies. i don't sleep with them all. i usually throw most of them out of my bed because i'm mad at mama and daddy when they make me go to sleep. i usually hang onto the duck though.

oh, yeah, so back to the na-night. i'm a big boy now. one weekend daddy said that i was too old for it and it was time for it to go. mama just happened to be going to see people play music instruments with auntie "boo" (becky) and i was already upset because she was leaving. okay, okay, i'm still liking to be with mom a lot. when daddy put me to bed, i cried for at least an hour before i got so tired and gave up. but, i did it! it was my first real night without the na-night. mom and dad don't give in either. i started asking to have my pacifier back thinking if i used a big word they'd think i was old enough to know what was best for me. it hasn't worked yet.
