Andrew's nearest and
dearest friend for the last
30 months (almost to the day!) has been his "ba" a.k.a. paci, pacifier, binky, plug. Andrew
has been known to put two or three in his mouth AND has often been seen with one in his mouth and another in his hand. Andrew's dependence on his friend was almost severed last year, at this time. However, after his surgery, the doctor recommended we give his "Ba" back to him while he recovered. Andrew became co-dependent on his little friend. However, "Ba" was a very loyal friend! "Ba" always found his way home, even in the middle of the night, and was always there for Andrew when he was scared, embarrassed, happy, sad...even mad! "Ba" even helped Andrew overcome biting. Well, this past Thursday, May 28, "Ba" (and all of his decoys) were "sent" to another baby. Andrew was pretty hesitant, but with each passing day, "Ba" is slowly fading to a memory.
