Lucas' Birthday - The Second Post

AH HA! You thought you had read all about Lucas' birthday didn't you?  Well guess what, there is another part of the day that you haven't heard about yet!

Last moments with paci, and watching Elijah get his bear.

We have been telling lucas for at least 6 months that his pacifier would go bye-bye when he turned three. Anytime we would ask him "What happens when you turn 3?" He'd respond "No mo paci!" Too cute. Well like good parents we stuck to our guns, as hard as it may have been letting go of the baby stage.

I thought it would be neat to take Lucas to build-a-bear to put his paci in the bear, much like Elijah did last year with his "guy". So we did. It was super cute, but he definitely did not really grasp what was happening. He definitely didn't appreciate that you couldn't get the paci out when it was nap time, and then night time. It was rough couple of nights, but we have pretty much made it through (2 months post), though he did ask for it two nights ago - oy. Anyway I think he was not happy about his "bear" (which is actually a dog from a show that he likes called PAW Patrol) and refused to sleep with it for quite a while, really he didn't want anything to do with it. LOL!

Here are some pictures from our time at build-a-bear. Elijah got a bear too! His was a bear, but also a Star Wars storm trooper bear.

Building the dog...

giving the dogs heart a good squeeze

Elijah rubbing the heart on his tummy. Funny picture really.

Oh yeah we pulled out all the stops, they make sounds too
