Goodbye Nuks! (3/19/09)

Auntie Sarah got to see the big kid throw his nuks away, too! It started with mom forgetting to leave a nuk at daycare, Liam napping without it, and deciding that this was a good opportunity to get rid of them. He'd only been using them while sleeping anyway, so the transition was probably easier than most kids experience. He threw them away, got some stickers for being such a big kid, and forgot about them...until bedtime. He didn't cry and he didn't even say much about them, but he made his feelings known by throwing all his animals and his pillow out of bed 7 or 8 times. He also came out of his room on his own, something he's never done before. Aaron and I remained calm and he eventually fell asleep. He woke up only once asking for his nuk, but went back to bed after being reminded that they were all gone. He's done so well, and we're now on day 7 with no nuks!
