The pacifier is no longer a part of our home. The pacifier was officially laid to rest this evening, and will NOT be coming again until there is, God willing, another little baby in our lives. For the last few weeks I had slowly weaned the paci from Andy during the day. Someday's it went really well, and other times it was just a complete nightmare. For whatever reason this week she just seemed to do really well without it during the day. She didn't seem to be asking for it nearly as much, and she was going really long stretches during the day without even remembering about it.
I decided it was time to completely get rid of it yesterday. As you guys probably know she has been battling ear infections on and off now for about 6 months. This is not typical just because for the first 15 months of her life she had no ear infections. I ended up taking her to a chiropractor yesterday, and I'm so happy I did. He told me some things I already knew, but I just never had really paid attention to. One of his main points was that she shouldn't be sleeping with the paci cause that can cause inflammation in her ears. So I took the plunge today, and I chopped the tip off of it, and when she asked for it I handed to her. She took it, and when she couldn't get a grip, she just looked at it, and tossed it. I think she was ready to move on too. :)
On to the next phase, POTTY TRAINING! That's gonna be at her pace though.
