He Did It!!


Day 5 in an up hill battle to take away this little guys "paci's". I'm happy to say that each day he has talked about his plug less and less. And finally last night he never mentioned it once, nor did he wake up in the night looking for it!! Thank heavens!!

Larry mentioned that since Keira isn't attached to a "paci" we should try to avoid giving it to her. I think he doesn't want to go through this again. But...he's probably right. Technically none of our kids have been very found of it until after 1 years old. Looking back, most of our kids were given one to keep them entertained/quiet during a long road trip which we were grateful for at the time!!

We are very happy for Ben to pass over this challenge and welcome him to BIG BOY-HOOD.

-potty trained CHECK
-pacifier gone CHECK

Way to go, Ben! Congratulations, Rachel, you did it! I think it's very wise not to get Keira started. Once again, you amaze me with your mothering skills. You are awesome!

Way to go Ben! I need details! How long did he cry at night and for naps? After labor day we're headed for the weaning process. Help!

LOL my little brother always wanted to play dress ups with me--MY dress ups. And he only had ONE older sister. I say let it play out. Better for them to get it out of their system now than into their system when they are 20.
