Operation Reclaim Bedroom (Part 1)

Ok, so we made the mistake a long time ago letting K sleep in our bed. Honestly, most of the time we really don't mind her with us. But there are times, particularly the ones where one of us is continually awakened with feet in our back, or an arm hitting our face, etc. We have a cal-king bed and often only have about a foot to sleep on. Anyhow, part of this process involves us taking her pacifier away so that is one thing she won't need when she is back in her own bed in her OWN bedroom. I have been dreading this part as it seems that my child is the most attached to her pacifier than any other child in the world (or at least in my eyes, haha). So at breakfast the other day, we gathered all the pacis I could find (some are hiding around the house) and she gave them all hugs, kisses and one last suck.

I told her that now that she was a big girl, she would get to pick out her first tea set. I had tears in my eyes because even though I know that I should have ditched the pacis a long time ago, this was the last "baby" thing left about her. and I cried...yes, sad I know. But I did. She got to pick her tea set and even a few princess accessories. Night time rolled around and she decided she didn't want her new toys now that she realized we were serious about the pacis. She made it though (and so did we). We are going on day 3! whoo hoo! Our next step will be to get her in her own bed, and then in her own bedroom!
