Baa

This post makes me sad because it shows just how quickly my daughter is growing up.....

Kenna was definitely a pacifier baby for the first year of her life.  Once she was 13-14 months, we took the pacifier away and replaced it with "baa"....and from that point on a friendship was born that has continued until just recently (I have actually devoted a previous post to Baa that you can read about here).
Baa has been around for first plane rides and sleepovers at all of the grandparents as well as illnesses and time-outs.  And he has made several trips through the washing machine.  :)

And now Baa is starting to look a little worse for the wear.  His hands used to be sewn together and he was holding a baby sheep (maybe Baa is supposed to be a female but Kenna has always said "he").  His mouth is now only hanging by a thread and, just the other day, Kenna noticed that he is starting to get a hole on his back.

And, because of all of these things, Kenna has decided that Baa is getting too old for her to sleep with anymore and has relegated him to the little rocker in her room.  While I am glad that she is coming to these conclusions on her own and we are not having to eventually go through a "traumatic" experience, it makes me realize that she is not my baby girl anymore!!

Thanks, Baa, for being so good to my little girl! :)
