Mimi-fied

It is no secret that Noah has always had (and for all I know always will have) a deep, deep love realtionship with his mimi (paci). And yes, at 3 1/2 he does still suck his mimi at night and during nap. Many times over the past few months I have thought about "pulling the plug," but I need him to still nap, and I know the minute mimi is gone, the napping will be over.


Anyway...

The highlight of getting ready for Jonah's arrival in Noah's book was the preparing of the teeny tiny mimis. We washed and sterilized them each so carefully. As they came out of the boiling water, Nosy dried each one with such tender, loving care. He would line them up in the bassinet to have them waiting for Baby Jonah.


Imagine Noah's disgust when Jonah adamantly rejected the cute Mam mimis that Nosy excitedly picked out for us to take to the hospital. The only mimi Jonah will tolerate is the huge, ugly green hospital paci. Convinced that exposure is all Jonah needs to fall in love with Mams, he surrounds Jonah's sleeping face with them. He is sure that Jonah will wake up and want one of the mimis he picked out. Sweet Nosy.

Carl had to leave his in his room. He would be playing and suddenly make a run for it. I could hear the smacking down the hall. Then back he would come. So funny!

That is so cute!!! We are using the mam paci's also. I couldn't find any cute blue ones in the newborn size though, only green.
