Fun time at Oktoberfest this evening. Trying to expose my child to some of her heritage. :) Held in a great park with slides and swings and even a strolling balloon man. Somewhere J got a pic of our tiny little miss in the balloon line with all the big kids....some days I think she is getting "so big" but then I see her next to a bunch of big kids and think "Oh goodness, she's still so tiny!"

Tiny or not, that countdown to TWO is on its way.

My plan to break the pacifier is to box them all up and bring them to the newest neighborhood baby. I talk this plan up each time she mentions her "paci." The conversation goes something like this:

AK: Paci? Paci!
Mama: Now, AK, you know doc says no more pacis at 2. Can you say "No paci at two?"
AK: No paci two!
Mama: Good! Do you remember what we are going to do with your pacis? We are going to give them to baby....
AK: Katie!
Mama: Yes, that's right!

I plan to do this on her bday. In the morning after breakfast, when she doesn't use it. By naptime (after her party), I am hoping she will be so exhausted she won't notice. ha ha. (who am I kidding?)  Should be interesting at least....."they" say it takes 2-3 days to completely make the break. Oh boy....no, oh My BIG Girl--you can do it!
