Big girls don't cry

Emma has been in "big girl" pants since Thursday and is doing great! She still has the occasional accident but for the most part is doing very well. She is quickly moving from my baby to my little girl and it is so bittersweet :( No more paci no more diapers, she talks and communicates with me just like a real person.
A few nights ago I put her to bed and she wasn't having it. For like 45 minutes she kicked the door and screamed, about not wanting to go to bed and about wanting her paci. Finally I opened the door and handed her a paci. She grabbed that stuck it in her mouth and ran for her bed, it was hilarious! The next morning I took the paci and cut the tip off. She was livid! She threw the biggest fit I've seen in a while. Then after she calmed down she looked at her paci and said "Oh, paci, DARN IT!" See she is a big girl! A baby wouldn't say that.
