Another Milestone! (this time it's Cole)

Cole has recently given up his night-night (pacifier). We have been talking about it for quite a while now and I told him that once he turns 3 he would not be able to have it anymore. During one of our talks the other day he said "I don't need my night-night", I figured I should go with it, when we got home he "turned in" all of the night-nights and that has been it!

We are now on night number 3 and have been very successful. The first night he did come into our room in the middle of the night demanding his night-night but we were able to get him back to bed without it and there hasn't been much talk of it since. This is a HUGE milestone for Cole, I know everyone says they won't go down the aisle with it, well he was that attached that I really thought he might! I am very proud of him but at the same time a little bit sad because that was really the last little bit of "baby" he had left :(. Here are a few pics of Cole throughout the last 2 years with his precious night-night.



I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to keep him quiet in public now, those of you that know Cole well know just how loud he is. I'll have to come up with a new trick I guess!

ah... that's a little sad... as for keeping him quiet - you're gonna have to move on to candy.

he sure does look cute with that night-night.

I agree with Mandi... the new pic is great - Reed looks like "one of the boys."
