Goodbye to the "mimi"...aka the pacifier

Okay, so the "mimi" has been a VERY big part of Cole's entire life... I truly did not know if we would ever get that thing away from him. We tried a few months ago to take it away, but mom AND dad caved...we just weren't ready to make that lunge! BUT...God is good and given us LOTS of patience this time around! We "gave the mimi to the babies at the hospital" last week, and we have been mimi-free since! Cole has been SUCH a big boy about it, and has surprised Dean and I beyond measure with how smooth the transition went! There were only a few nights that were pretty rough...he was just plain MAD that he coudn't find one anywhere!!! I mean, really...there is always one under the bed...or under the couch...but NOPE! Not anymore! He still asks me why he can't have it though...and if I'd take him to the hospital to have his mimi "for just two minutes, mommy? Just two minutes then I can give it back..." =) Precious...but I am SO thankful to finally say that we did it!!!
