Goodbye Patsy!

We finally did it!  We said goodbye to patsy, Colin's pacifier.  We talked to him about it all evening on Friday.  He told us what he wanted the Patsy Fairy to bring him so Saturday we talked it up again.  Saturday evening we grabbed a ziploc baggie and box to the patsies in for the Fairy.  

Then he put the baggie with the patsies in the box.  

We sat down and wrote a note to the Patsy Fairy.  Colin signed his name to the bottom.  

Just a side note to brag- haha - but Colin has been in Pre-K for nine days.  Before starting he could/would sometimes just write a C, but look at this!!  He almost write his first name! 

We folded the note and sealed it with a Colin kiss.

Finally, he dropped the note in the box and told them goodbye.  I got really teary eyed at this point.  My baby was telling his patsy goodbye forever! 

Last night was not as hard as I thought it would be for him.  He complained and said he wanted the Patsy Fairy to go to jail because she was going to take his patsy.  We just kept reminding him that she would bring him a special toy.  When we put him in bed, he didn't cry or complain at all just went right to sleep.  I guess he really is a big boy now.  Be still my heart, be still! 

This morning Colin woke up to a special toy from the Patsy Fairy.  He wrote in the letter that this what he wanted her to bring so she did!
