Mission: Ditch the Passy

So...M: DtP has commenced.

Step 1: Create a good story for why the passies have to go away.
My story?  That the Passy Fairy needs Big Girls to put their passies into her Passy Fairy Bag.  And then the Passy Fairy takes the Passy Fairy Bag and gives it to babies who still use passies when they sleep.

Step 2: Talk about the story ALL. MORNING. LONG.

Step 3: Follow through.  Right before sleepies, find the Passy Fairy Bag and put passies into it.
Bye bye passies!
Step 4: Put Passy Fairy Bag outside of bedroom, congratulate Big Girl on being such a big girl, and give Big Girl new Ducky book.
Where my passies at?
Step 4: Realize the Passy Fairy Bag is too distracting if it can still be seen by Big Girl, so take it down to the laundry shoot, where (obviously) the Passy Fairy will pick it up.

Bye bye passies- Take 2
 Step 5: Read new Ducky book and learn that this ducky can go to sleepies without a passy, JUST LIKE BIG GIRLS CAN!
Cooo-oool!
Step 6: Stop delaying the inevitable battle, do the nap time routine, and wait.

Step 7: Patiently calm and soothe as necessary, maybe rock Big Girl a little bit, listen to some "BYE BYE PASSY SEEYAYATER!"s and some "SEEYAYATER DUCKY!"s and some "BYE BYE MOMMY SEEYAYATER! LOVE YOU MOMMY!"s in between the crying, and then...40 minutes later...sneak downstairs after 5+ minutes of silence.

Step 8: Text Daddy the progress and appreciate his last text the most: "Cool. Guess we'll see how I do tonight."
