Another transition!

Take note that our Traeger is sleeping peacefully and WITHOUT his pacifier! Since turning 2 we thought it was time to say "bye, bye" to the pacifier. The transition to saying "bye, bye" to the pacifier has not been as torturous as we anticipated. We cut the tip on Wednesday morning around 9. At first he didn't think it was too funny that it didn't work anymore. He cried for about 30 seconds and then decided it wasn't all that bad, it just didn't work. We laid him down for his nap around 12:30 and he cried for about 30 minutes as he intermittantly repeated, "mine pacifier mommy." After about 15 minutes of crying, I went in to assure him that indeed it was his pacifier but now he is a big boy and that everything will be ok. He woke up from his nap a little out of sorts and was upset that his pacifier wasn't working. Once he settled down he didn't ask for it again. That night I laid him down for bed and he didn't shed a tear. He didn't wake up at all during the night looking for his pacifier. In the morning he woke up and when Luke opened the door Traeger handed him the pacifier. He has made it through another nap time and bedtime without any tears or fits. We are trying to play up the big boy thing. So far so good.
