Jacob says goodbye to the Mamone!

So, now that Jacob is 4 it's time for the pacifier to make an exit! Yesterday Nana and Papa came up with a great idea to tell Jacob that a bird came and stole all of his mamones. Papa told him that he went outside and tried to catch the bird, but all he could get was a feather. Nana gave him a wooden spoon that had "BIRD WACKER" written on it, just in case it tried to come back! Well, we came home last night with a feather and the wooden spoon. When daddy came home from work, Jacob told him the entire story! Daddy was very concerned that a bird could get in our house when we were not home. Jacob comforted him with the "BIRD WACKER" theory!

At first, things were fine he didn't even ask for it at bedtime. However, at 10:26 PM the shreeking cry came from the bedroom across the hall! Daddy went to comfort him, ended up sleeping with for about an hour. Then, another shreek! Mommy went to give love and comfort, ended up scratching his back for about 30 minutes (It seemed to be the only thing that would stop the angry cry!) So, the long night began! Between Robby and I, we probably got about 2 1/2 hours of sleep tag teaming our precious boy! He never asked for the mamone, until this morning when he walked into the kitchen pulled out the top drawer and stated,"I bet that bird didn't get this mamone!" Only to shreek in disappointment when he discovered that it too was gone! (Mommy scoured the house and hid them all!) So, needless to say hopefully tonight is better!
