I know, I know....believe me, we have heard it all. I would have judged me before I had children.
Quite frankly, I didn't care what anyone else thought. I was not ready to make them give up their "pi's". However, something changed last Friday night.
Tony and I decided it was time. We explained what we were doing and it may be difficult but we knew they could do it.
Friday night, they cried for at least an hour and a half. It was terrible. They also woke up periodically throughout the night. Saturday naps were rough and Saturday night they cried for about forty five minutes. Thomas slept through the night but Stella woke up a whole bunch.
But then....Sunday bedtime was so smooth. They both went to bed with no tears and no waking up. I have read that it takes three days to get rid of anything and I agree!!
Thomas said, "Mama, this is hard and I may cry a little bit" before bed on Saturday night....awwwwww!!
Now I am happy to report they have completely given up their "pi's". They even had a pi party with Miss Kelly (at some point, I need to stop calling her that...she now has a real job). Tony and I are proud of them and we are proud of us.

Ahh, I remember the binky days. It was so difficult to get my older son off the binky at 2 that I took my younger one's away before he turned one so it wouldn't be so hard. Then he just put everything else in his mouth. You just can't win, really :)
Anyway, stop by my blog, I tagged you!
Awww...welcome to the club! We just did that just over a week ago. Great job!!!
It took us over a year. We did the 2 weeks and you get a build-a-bear chart all of those things.
And then, Sunshine did it all by herself, I'm going to be 5 and in kindergarten, time to give it up, and literally that is what she did, cold turkey!
So congrats to you, Tony and the kids.. it is not easy.. and I am thankful it wasn't the thumb... I just have to believe that is really hard to give up, I mean, it is there... right there... ALL THE TIME!
