"The babies took it"

Last Janna was screaming in bed because she didn't want to sleep or wanted me in the room, or ect... Once she calmed down I went in and explained how if she didn't scream or cry I could come in and help. She told me she was still crying. I asked are you sad, "yes" she answered "I want my paci. The babies took it". It broke my heart. I wanted so badly to pull out a paci for her but I didn't. I explained she was a big girl and found the kooky pen / baby we bought at the store. It worked as a substitute. We have not been saying anything about her paci but apparently she still remembers and wants it. Although it was a fight, she did fall asleep without her paci, even though she was sad.
Sometimes it is tough growing up to be a big girl.
