Good Bye Pappy!!

I thought this deserved a post all on it's own!! Clay has officially been without pappy for 4 days!! We are so proud of him! I have been thinking about it for awhile but to me he's still that little bitty baby so I just couldn't. The past 2 weeks he had gotten really attached to it asking for it all the time so I realized it was time for it to GO! Monday I cut the end off of it and of course he acted like nothing was wrong with it. My first thought was great what the heck do I do now. When he went down for bed that night I just didn't give it to him. He fought his sleep a little that night but not what I thought it would be like. He's only asked for pap once or twice and I just ignore him it works:) hopefully he will do good this week while we are gone I am praying so! We have knocked his bottles down to 2 one at nap and one at bed! I know he's 18 months old but his doctor wanted him to stay on the bottle till 15 months since he was a preemie and on the smaller side. So please everyone pray for us when we get back from vacation we will be getting him off the bottle completely! I know it's going to be hard. This week we have really enjoyed this overcast weather in the morning and rain in the afternoons! We have been getting up and going for a walk/run then heading to the park for awhile! I better get back to packing before nap time is over! Since he has made it almost a week without pappy we are going to the bookstore to buy a prize once he wakes up:)
