A visit from the Paci Fairy

 With Austin's 3rd birthday quickly approaching it was time for a visit from the Paci Fairy!  She visited Kelly before she turned 3 also.  

For those of you who are not familiar with the Paci Fairy, she comes and takes the big kid's paci while they are sleeping to give to a baby who needs it and leaves a prize. 

 I knew this was going to be hard for Austin.  We would only let him have it at bed time or if he didn't feel well, but he loved his paci.  We have been talking about Paci Fairy for about a month now to get him ready and Friday morning I let him know that she was on her way that night.  We got out the crayons so he could decorate the bag he was going to leave his paci in to try and get him excited about it.

We wrote her a note and left it on the table where she would be able to find it.

In the morning we heard a loud gasp come from the dinning room and then "Daddy! Look!"  Austin came running into our room and got Jacob out of bed to go see his new firetruck.  He was so excited!

This was the last part of him being a baby.  I can't believe how fast it has gone by!  Only a few more weeks and he will be a big 3 year old.  He has mentioned his paci a couple times today and that he missed it, but I am so proud of my big boy!
