The Break Up

Barnes' first love affair has come to an end. He finally gave up his poppy. I'm so glad to see it go but a little sad too. He loved that thing from the moment he was 2 weeks old. It gave him so much comfort and helped him sleep, cope with sadness and made him happy. So for those things I'm grateful.


He traded it for the following:




A tub of plastic dinosaurs

A Buzz Light Year kite

A Thomas the Train bathtub toy




All things he picked out at the store with the understanding he was trading them for his poppy. With his ear tube surgery behind him, we knew it was time... past time. Its been days and hes only mentioned it a couple of times. What a good boy!!
