"the thing that we do not speak of"

I guess this post should be called, "Big Events in the Smith Home," but the title I chose instead has a great story. So, two weekends ago we decided it was time to take away Ty's passy. He really only used it at night and during naps and he's not even two yet, but we still felt like it was time. It actually happened kind of naturally because while I was at a church women's retreat, Corey forgot to give Ty his passy one night, and he did fine without it. However, Ty started asking for it again the next day ("pashy!"--he says it really sweetly), so we decided to hide all the ones we have and start referring to it as, "the thing we do not speak of" when we talked about it in front of Ty (that way, he wouldn't hear the word and be reminded, and it was kind of fun to say). Anyway, it's been two weeks since he last used his passy (Yay Ty!) I can't remember how long it takes to create a habit...three days, three weeks...I can't remember, but I think it's, "Goodbye forever, pashy!"

The other BIG event is that Drew rolled over last weekend while we were in Indiana! I put him down on his tummy and found him later on his back--stuck like a little turtle! We were so proud! And, he's done it several times since! It's very fun!
