A visit from the Paci Fairy

It wasn't that long ago. . .



Well our little Paci Addict is a Big Girl now!  It was time for a visit from the Paci Fairy (excuse my attempt to be creative, it has been a long, long time).

The Letter arrived with a sprinkling of fairy dust.

Ellison decorated a box and collected all of her pacis.

So, you may wonder how the first night without pacis in the house went.  It took about 2 hours for Ellison to finally settle down and fall asleep, and that was only after I cuddled with her, stroked her hair, and sang "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" on repeat for a long time.  Oh yes, and she kept making long lists of things needed to go to bed.  Here is an example. . .

"Mom, um, you forgot a few things.  My blanket, cup, (and then in a whisper) paci, (back to normal voice) new diaper, a doll."

Let's just say the items and order of the list would change, but one item was always on it and "whispered".  LOL.  I didn't fall for it.
