Good Bye Minkie!

Today we have reached a huge milestone in Alexandra's life. She spent her first night without the minkie. For all of you who do not know her, her minkie (pacifier) has been her best friend since we was little. On the way to the hotel in Frankfurt on our last night in Germany, she realized that her last minkie had a hole in it. She said she was going to throw it away when we got to the hotel. I panicked a little, you would too - a 10 hour plane ride without the plug is no fun. I suggested waiting until we got home. She went to bed on Wednesday night and appeared in the kitchen on Thursday morning and announced she was throwing it away. I was shocked - I thought surely she would have changed her mind. We went and got Daddy, he had to witness the big event - and boom - it was in the garbage. Last night was a little intense, but she went to sleep without it. Good Bye Minkie - we will miss you.
