No more NUK!!

So i have to blog about the very exciting event that took place in the Showman household last week....Cody gave up his Nuk! Last Monday we went to his 2 year checkup and i was questioning the doctor about terrible temper tantrums and whining and he said that if Cody gave up his Nuk, it would "bump up" his maturity level. So in my mind i thought well maybe this spring when he is healthier, we will SLOWLY get rid of it. This all changed when i told my husband the story. He immediately grabbed his favorite Nuk and snipped the end right in half! Of course i panicked because it was soon bedtime and he has not been feeling well lately. The remainder of the evening went well, he only asked for it a few times. When we would give him the cut off one, he would spit it out and even when to throw it in the garbage (I dug it out in case we needed to remind him that it was broke). Then bedtime came but to my suprise he did fine!! He whined for it two times and i went back into his room and told him we were no longer going to have a Nuk! So i showed him the cut off one and he just held onto it while he slept. It was so cute! Well, it has been a week now and he doesn't even ask for it! And what is even better is that at nighttime he doesn't lose it from coughing and cry for it. I just wish i would've done this sooner. If I only knew it was going to be this easy.
