Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na...Hey Hey...Good-bye!

Big news in the Bright house! So last night Stephen went to put Bowen to bed and he couldn't find his passie. For several months he only gets it when he is in the bed and so we didn't' know what happened to it. He had been playing in his room and I think he must have tried to sneak sucking on it and then put it down or hid it somewhere. I told Stephen I had another one out in the car (for emergencies!). He said, let's just see what happens if he doesn't have it. So, Stephen rocked him for about 5 minutes and just kind of snuggled him. Then he laid him in the crib and went out and closed the door. Bowen immediately started crying. "Ohhhh nooooo! Passsssieeee! Passsssieeeee!" It was pitiful. Stephen went back in after about 5 minutes of him calling for his pass. He asked Bowen what was wrong, Bowen told him his passie was gone. Stephen consoled him and told him he didn't know what happened to it. He told him to lie down and just rest and Stevie gave him his little stuffed dog from Aunt Geraldine and Uncle Ben (Root Bear...AKA Rubbie). Stephen left the room again, and Bowen didn't cry, but went to sleep and slept pretty much all night. He woke up once and cried out, but went back to sleep quickly! I guess a real test will be nap time...and tonight. Maybe if we just snuggle a bit he will feel soothed enough to be able to relax. Keep fingers crossed! So sad...another baby thing gone! :(
