Operation No More Pacifier...

Clayton was becoming obsessed with his pacifier the more the days went on. We decided that after his 2nd birthday we really needed to buckle down and work on breaking him of this habit. After talking with several people on how they went about this we decided that the best method for us would be to go down to having his pacifier only in his bed...so nap time and bedtime only. I really thought it was going to be rough for the first few days, but amazingly it was a breeze! The morning after his 2nd birthday (we decided not to do it on his actual birthday) we told him that his "pie pie" was only for "night night" and he had to leave it in his bed. He took it out of his mouth and threw it in his bed no problem! I just knew it would only be a matter of time before he started asking and crying for it, but he didn't!!! He didn't even cry for it at his 2 year Dr. appointment after his shots! From that day forward we have kept to it and every morning and every time he wakes from his nap he throws it in his bed and doesn't get it until it is time for bed again. He has done so well, and we are so proud of him...such a big boy! Yay Clayton!!!!
