Well, she has slept 4 nights without it.  She is quite nonchalant about it, but I am pleased as punch at how easily she has come through this as she so was very attached to it.

Ryan and I were resolved after that first night that it should be gone, so there has been total commitment that it is time for it to go.

There was frantic crying the second night at bedtime, one wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night crying jag that was resolved very quickly and a couple of unhappy nap/rest times.

All in all she is doing great!  – Chewing on her Extra Bubble Gum (she calls it “my loooong, flat gum”) whenever she remembers that it is her privilege now.

It has been a great opportunity for us to tell her how strong she is and that she can do it and we, as her parents, will help her through this…
