A few weeks ago we bagged up her paci's and gave them to a neighbor who has a baby. She was very proud that day but when bed time rolled around she wasn't having it. I didn't feel like fighting it so I went ahead and gave her the one last paci I had left.
We went to the dentist this week and he mentioned two problems with her bite and kindly mentioned the sooner she "kicks the habit" the faster her teeth might shift back into place. I decided right then and there we needed to bite the bullet and do it. We had bible study that night and went to Galveston the following so we couldn't those nights.
Today we were back to normal so I told her it was time to trash the one last paci. She said she wanted to give it to a baby. We walked across the street to give another paci to our neighbor with a baby girl. Sadly they weren't home. I stood in their yard frozen and not sure what to do. I said, let's give them to this neighbor (pointing to a house with no babies) and she looks at me and says "why?" She sure is smart! Then I thought of another neighbor who is expecting a sweet baby boy. She was excited about it but then said "but she's having a boy", while looking at her PINK paci. Nothing gets by her! I talked her into it anyway and we walked down and did it.
She was very proud of herself.
Come bedtime she was having a hard time falling asleep. I don't think she knew what to do with her mouth. :) She used it to talk talk talk at bedtime. Finally after some fussing (no tears) she calmed down some. She started saying "mommy mommy mommy" again so Aaron went in. She never wants him to lay with her so we thought this might be easier. He said she told him "I'm tired Daddy" and he told her to go to sleep. He said she was moving her mouth/lips in a funny way while trying to sleep. Poor thing! But she's asleep now-no tears, no paci. Go Saige!!!!!
We have no rocking chair, no diapers, no crib and now no paci. I really really don't have a baby or any evidence of one. (sniff sniff)
We promised her a treat for being a big girl and she has requested a bikini and some skittles. She cracks us up!

Saige did great! She woke up once with some whining and I went in to rub her back. She went back to sleep quickly! We are now paci free (WOO HOO) and she has a two piece.
