25 Hours, 38 minutes, and 24 seconds
That is how long we've been without a boppy, passy, pasifier, or whatever else you want to call it.
Jon and I have been discussing that we need to loose it for a long time now. There has always been a reason we've waited: moving, going back to Illinois (on a plane!), going back to Florida, church, people coming, peace, quiet, etc...but finally we did it!
It's weird while we had three different passy's for some reason Grant was very attached to one and would only use the blue one. Jon and I truely did lose it and had to convince Grant the white one would work. This to us was a sign we needed to ditch the whole item all together. So, the white one "broke"! Or as Jon asks Grant - "did you bite it while in bed" - great Jon, make him feel guilty! :) First nite seemed to go pretty well, however, he did just look at me like "how am i to sleep without it", but he did great - didn't even wake up through the night.
We did end up finding the Blue one and hid it in case our plane just wasn't going to work, but only a few times did he ask for it today. Anytime he asked for it we just reminded him of how it broke and he didn't need it anymore. There were a few times he did ask, "can I just hold it"...nearly broke my heart - but so would a 12 year old with a passy so I told him no, we threw it away. Which he did - once...then pulled it back out of the trash - i just don't think he could do it. So anyway, we're back to bed again tonight with no passy - i think we may have done it!
YIPPEE!

Breaking the Bappy(as we called it) works great. We did that with both our girls. Way to go Grant (and Jon and Meridith) Now he officially a big boy
Yea! Grant, you are such a big boy!
I am so proud of you giving up your Bop Bop (that is what Gabe always called it so I did too)
Anyway you are so awesome.
Nanny loves you and misses you.
I will make you pie cookies when you come back to IL. Hugs and Kisses.
Love,
Nanny
