We had been preparing Levi for quite awhile that when he turned 2 we were going to say "bye bye" to his beloved mimis (aka pacifiers). However; we got so tired of the rash around his lips caused by the darn things, that Mike and I decided to just do it now. So we had a big "celebration" with Levi and boxed up all his mimis; wrapped up the box and addressed it to Santa. In exchange, and because he was so proud of him being a big boy, Santa had a nice little gift for Levi - a cool new matchbox car. Mike and I thought we would have a HUGE battle for several weeks over the issue. Levi went to bed that evening without ANY fuss and has now been successfully mimi-free for 9 straight nights!!! There have only been a few instances where he has asked for them and we just remind him that "Santa has them now". We are just unbelievably proud of our boy and how he has handled this major transition. He continues to amaze us. This picture also captures his own pride beautifully.
