Gabby has gotten to be such a big girl -- so big that she decided she could give up her binky (pacifier). We talked about it for a couple of weeks (okay -- more like months) to get her used to the idea. Then, on the morning of December 6, 2010, she wrapped her binkies in a present to send to Santa so he could give them to babies who didn't have any, and put it in the mailbox.
That evening, just as she finished putting on her pajamas, we heard the doorbell. What could it be??? A present, just for Gabby, from Santa!
And that is how Bailey joined our family (and he/she -- depending on the day -- has been a constant companion ever since!). Bailey got her name immediately after coming out of her "fruit snack box." (Gabby thought Santa was so silly for wrapping her in a fruit snack box.) We had recently watched a film called "Bailey the Lost Puppy." When Gabby pulled her doggy out she said, "Bailey the lost puppy! Santa found him and brought him to me!"
Gabby did really well giving up her "babink" as she called it. She had trouble falling asleep for a few nights. But she tried really hard to sleep, and didn't do much crying at all! And now, she sleeps better than ever (with Bailey in her arms of course)!
