Bye Bye Soother!

For the longest time the boys had been limited to only using their soothers when going to sleep, but last month we decided to toss the last bit of babyhood in the garbage! it seemed like the best time because there were no transitions happening. We always had an excuse for letting Owen hang on to the security of his "seus" and Noah, he just got to use it because his big brother had one :)
Having the two older kids go to sleep so easily and sleep all night also played a part in not pushing them to let it go. This mommy is oh so tired with Grayson still waking multiple times a night, I had no desire to mess with the other two's sleep.

We told the boys that if they tossed their soothers in the garbage then they would be able to go shopping and pick out a new toy. It worked like a charm and they handled it so well. No tears or major fussing at bedtime since. Owen did tell us he was sad he didn't have his soother anymore, but hasn't made much of a deal out of it since that conversation. Way to go boys!
