No More Pacifier...

You might expect this post to be about Ellie.

Nope.

We are talking about Brig.

Our almost 4 year old.

Yup.

This is slightly embarrassing to admit but with pride we announce that Brig no longer needs his pacifier.

It's a miracle!

 

 

And it was easier than we thought.

You see, he was really attached to that thing right from the start. And he was never a very good sleeper and he was quite colicky...so we were equally if not more attached than he was.

 

My least favorite thing about pacifiers in the fact that they are so easily lost! AGH! Nothing frustrated us more than not being able to find a single pacifier (and as you can see from the pictures...we have had several!) when your kid is screaming and you just need him to go to sleep.

Yay, we have had that happen at least twice;)

(insert sarcasm)

 

 

 But it came in pretty handy especially when he had his accident and there wasn't anything we could do to console him except offer him his pacifier. We were sure thankful for it.

 

He has only used it at night now for about a year now but we were so afraid {when I say we...I mean us as parents!} to get rid of it...what if he slept worse than he already did? But one day we got brave and he was super tired and he just fell asleep without it. Then we told him the next day that if he was a big boy and maybe we should give his pacifier to someone who needed it...like a baby. And that was that! He agreed that his new baby cousin needed it and its now history! {and no, we haven't really given it any baby. That would be gross}

 

So, yes he is super old to have a pacifier. But we are so proud that he is a big boy and gave it up based on his own decisions.

Now to work on Elle and her "Pass"...
