Pacifiers Anonymous

Hello. My name is Trevor, and I am a pacifieraholic.


We are desperately trying to kick this habit. Actually, for the past year Trevor has only had his beloved paci when he sleeps. We don't take it anywhere. It stays in his bed and he knows to leave it there when he wakes up. Buuuuut, then we went on a road trip. And Trevor got a little bit more attached. Soooooo, we have enrolled in the twelve step program and the process has begun. The night before last he went through a screaming/creaming/flailing withdrawal that lasted until about 11:30pm. Last night we ended up driving around in the car for a bit just to divert his attention. We came back home and he was able to fall asleep, but not before pitifully begging for his paci a few times. Oh.my.goodness. We keep telling him that pacies are for babies~ last night he told me that "Baby Kate please bring back my paci!"

Anywhoo. Hopefully tonight will be better. Next up, potty training...

Sydney still has her paci for nap and night time. I was hoping to get rid of before baby arrived, but just didn't want to overwhelm her and then have her taking Caroline's from her. Soooo she still has it and we will hopefully get rid of it by the end of the year once things calm down.I should have taken it away about a year ago!!! Ugh.

Do boys have a paci fairy or is that just for little girls?? My little guy doesn't do pacifiers, but he sure digs his thumb... it's completely calloused all the way around. Don't know how I'm gonna put an end to that habit!
