fly me to the moon..

... and leave my paci there!

penelope is officially paci free.  never thought it would happen, and happen so easily.  but like most things with penelope, she will do what she wants on her own time table.

on saturday night as she was going to bed she handed me the green paci she calls "gamma's paci" and told me "give back to gamma, i no need this".

i wasnt about to question her.  so i took the paci, kissed her good night and left the room.  she still had another one in her bed but I didnt want to push it.

then on sunday as we were going to the magic house to meet up with baby calvin and aunt lisa she told me "give my paci to calvin"  so we took her car paci and gave it to calvin.

i told her how proud i was of her and she told me "i big girl now.  calvin baby. he need my paci".

paci number 2 out.

finally, last night, i took away paci number 3 (the final one her bed) - and she didnt make a peep.  

paci's GONE!  love her.

we told her that if she gave calvin her paci she could get a brand new rocketship.

based on the video below, and the million times a day she yells "1, 2, 3 blastoff" you can tell this was a good bribe:

and here is her new rocketship collection. Our window seat is now the moon:

i am SOOO proud of my big girl! (and a little sad as well).

she is just jumping from baby to big girl like crazy this summer!  it all needs to slow down...
