My dear sweet Riley Kate, I've been putting this day off for awhile. I kept making excuses for the reason why we should hold on a little longer to your paci - traveling, holidays, etc. It's really me that didn't want to give it up because I felt so bad taking away your comfort.
BUT,
Mommy knew it was time. You are almost 2 1/2 and you have become a lot more attached to your paci in the last 4 months and it can do nothing but hinder your speech and mouth development.
SO,
We decided that we were going to take you to Build-A-Bear and put your paci inside the bear/animal that you picked. It worked out that your friends Terry & Rainey Grace were able to go with us. I was really glad they could come because you had some great moral support! And a special thanks to Ms. Shelley for taking pictures!

We followed our Build-A-Bear trip with lunch at the food court in the mall and then headed to Marbles Kids Museum for a fun afternoon. We spent about 3 hours at the museum having fun and playing. It was a great day and we are so proud of our little Riley Roo.

Your baby girl is growing up! I love how you thought to make this big transition with something she would enjoy and be able to take part in. You're so creative:)
