No More Passy

Well, we did it. We cut off the ole pacifier addiction. And I can assure you, it was an addiction. David has loved a passy from day one. He would always suck on one to calm himself and it ocurred to me when we took it away yesterday that this could be a little bit traumatic. I mean, he's had one his whole life. He's never gone without. Too sad.

He's done really well, though. A few tears and a little whining but not too bad. He has told me that he "needs one" a few times but other than that not too much protesting. I guess it was just time. Timing is everything, isn't it? When they are ready, the next step is a walk in the park. When they aren't, prepare for the battle.

The Butter threw his passy down around 4 months. But the girls....totally addicted. Rayray had to have one in her mouth and one in each hand to click together just to go to sleep. We weaned both girls the same way/same age. Age 2 1/2. We went on vacations and...OOOOPS! We forgot your passy! That did the trick for both.
