buh bye

we are officially a pacifier free house. we wanted to wean jack off them before we left for disneyworld next week but didn't think we could do it.

enter my dear friend, aylin.

i saw her in nc a few weeks ago and she mentioned cutting off the top of the pacifier a little bit each night until there was nothing left. it was an interesting idea.

the first night we snipped off a bit of his paci, jack was mighty confused. he kept holding it up to us saying, 'my paci is in pieces!'. we assured him it was ok and put him to bed. he cried for about 45 minutes.

we snipped the paci a little bit over the course of a week and now he doesn't even ask for them when he goes to bed.

i feel liberated. especially because now we won't have to do the mad paci scramble on vacation, always wondering if we have one with us or worrying about leaving them on the plane.

bliss.

Why would anyone let a child cry for 45 minutes over a pacifier? Just so you can don't have to look for it?

Man, nothing ruins a good coke buzz like a crying kid.

Hey...could be so much worse. Those moms who do H are the real slackers. At least the cokeheads are awake.
