Bye, Bye Nuk

Well....it's been done. Miss Jenna spent her 1st night w/o her beloved Nuk. We didn't mean for it to happen on a Sunday night, but it did.
After she woke up from her nap on Sunday, I asked her to drop her Nuk, and remember it bouncing off her water glass. We happily headed downstairs to head outside, and I didn't think about her Nuk until it was time for bed.....
We changed sheets on her bed, which meant the various blankies that were in there came out along with her water glass and anything else that had been in there. We put the new sheet on, she climbed in and started to do her Nuk search, but came up empty. We did a semi-frantic search of her room, which included tearing apart her bed, with no luck. The Nuk had disappeared (we really had no idea were it went and were slightly panicked thinking of the long night that may lay ahead of us).
She asked if K2 took it, so we decided he must have.....funny thing happened tho, Mr. Andrew came in during the search and instead of helping search, told Jenna that the Nuk fairy must have taken it, and that she was a big girl and didn't need it. K2 is the daycare cat, and he really did take her daycare Nuk, so she hasn't had one there for a while. She seemed pretty convinced that K2 must have taken this Nuk too.
We checked the garbage can, and low and behold there it was, but we didn't tell her, and just went along with K2 must have taken it. We know Jenna didn't toss it, since she would have pulled it out of the garbage, and Bruce and I didn't put it there, so we are pretty sure that Andrew threw it out! Sneaky little guy. It wouldn't have been our choice to give up the Nuk at the start of a work week, but apparently Andrew had a different plan. So if you ask Jenna, K2 (the daycare kitty) took her Nuk.
The 1st night went well, and we are hoping night #2 goes the same. We're thinking the Nuk fairy may leave a small gift in her room....just to prove to Andrew that is what they do, since he told Jenna they don't ;) All in all it was time for the Nuk to go, we just hadn't been pushed to do it yet. I guess we have Andrew to thank for the nudge :)

Hope your Nukless nights are going well. Ours are ok, still not good with the afternoon nap. I guess that just means earlier bedtimes, which is fine too! How's potty training? I know you had started. Addy is doing great! Staying dry most nights, but definitely not all of them! In time...
