The Lion is Broke!

So we have been telling Taryne for a few weeks now that when she turns 2, the lion has to go. She is a big girl now and no longer needs a pacifier. She has not used it during the day in over a year, but must have it the moment she gets home.

To make the process "less painful" and get it over quickly, we decided to just cut the pacifier off the end of the lion.

Well, it was definitely painless. After a quick little "Oh my goodness, what happened" moment, she declared it "Broke" and tossed it to the side. We expected a big production (sort of like the one we got on her actual birthday when she realized the bounce house was really gone) but nothing. She will occasionally carry it through the house, but always declares that it is broken.

Seriously!?! If I had known it was going to be this easy, I would have cut the pacifier off months ago. It has not affected her in any way. She still goes to bed like a very good girl and rarely gets upset.

I will be getting a different animal for Baby #2 just to make sure there is no confusion in any way. Hopefully in round 2 it will be this easy. I am almost positive it won't be....

Until next time...Gig'em!
