Goodbye to the Nigh-Nigh

Anyone who knows Sydney would know that she was (yes, WAS) completely ADDICTED to her Nigh-Nigh, Pacifier, Dummy, Binky - whatever you call it. Well, I am very proud to announce that we have put her through Nigh-Nigh Annonymous and she has come through our twelve-step plan with success and she no longer has the pacifier. OK, so it was really only two steps - 1. Mom cuts nigh-nigh so much it is unusable 2. Sydney throws two pieces in trash.

Ode to the Nigh-Nigh

You have been with me since day one

Through sleeping, tantrums and some fun.

I had not one, but actually eight,

Every single one was my best mate.

I could not sleep without you near,

You made me grin from ear to ear.

If Mommy forgot to bring you with us,

I couldn't relax, I'd kick and fuss.

As I grew older I used you less,

But if I was upset, I loved you best.

Each one of you started to go flat,

So I'd throw you away, how about that?

Then one day I had only one left,

If I couldn't see you I was totally bereft.

Then, oh my gosh, it fell apart,

That really, really broke my heart.

But I was a big girl and realised,

I could live with out Nigh-Nigh in my life.

So it went in the trash, I threw it away,

Mom and Dad were so proud - hooray!
