The Big Decision

Sorry Jaime Mac but I had to get Christmas out of the way first.

As many of you know Cooper still sleeps with his pacifier, or should I say slept. It stayed in his room and he only got it in bed. But it had went on long enough. Every time we thought it might be a good time we gave our self an excuse; we wanted to switch him to a toddler bed, he was having surgery, we didn't want him to associate losing his pacifier with Cameron. So we decided that Santa would take it to give to another baby and Santa would bring Cooper what he wanted for Christmas. That gift was a white robot... Alphie!!! So on the 23rd we loaded up headed to mall when Steve got off work. We put the pacifier in a gift bag and he went right up to Santa, sat on his lap, and gave him the bag. By the way, the Greentree Mall Santa is awesome!!! So far the nights gave been great. He has asked for it each night but has went to sleep without a problem. Naps are another story. He didn't really nap Christmas Eve or Day, could be a mixture of not having it and the excitement. I'm pretty sure he napped some yesterday and he seems to be asleep now, or just really quiet. Either way, it's done and it's gone. I'm just thankful it's all over.
