No Raggy

Last night Ellie went to a friend's house for a sleeepover and she announced before she left that she was not going to bring Raggy. (Her lovey that she's slept with for every night of her life since birth !). I said "Are you sure ?" She said she would not be needing Raggy, it was only one night. Now this is a girl who will wake us up in the middle of the night if she can't find Raggy in her own bed ! I was a little concerned but she sounded so confident that I actually believed she was probably going to be fine and guess what ? No late night phone calls from the friend's Mom--she did it ! another milestone reached in Ellie's life, another bittersweet moment for me to be proud and a little sad about at the same time.
