Connor wanting to be a big boy!

Connor decided all on his own Sunday morning to toss his Nuk in the trash. I kept saying to myself how old is he going to be still sucking on a nuk, but I figured eventually he would give it up when he was ready. I was totally amazed that he actually wanted to throw it out. It all started with an add that he saw from the Sunday paper with a picture of a big boy scooter and I told him that big boys don't sleep with nuks in their mouths so he said well I want the scooter and that was the end of the nuk. I thought for sure that at night time he would go totally crazy, but he only asked for it a few times and then fell asleep. Of course not having a nap helped because he was exhausted. He ended up waking up around 10:30 and cried for about 45 mins because he wanted it, but that was the last we heard of the nuk. It is now two days later and not another word has been mentioned. Don and I are both so proud of our "big boy" and Yes, he got his scooter and is having a blast riding it all over the house. We all can't wait for winter to be over so we can have a lot of fun riding bikes and scooters outside. It is so chilly and windy here right now, I wish I was in sunny Florida. I just keep reminding myself that in a year 1/2 I won't even have to think twice about buying plane tickets to keep warm and get a little bit of sunshine.
