Good Thursday morning all!
Well, last night my little Nathan went to sleep without his pacifier. I have to give his dad the credit. There wasn't one clean and we decided to try getting him to sleep without one. I tried and he wouldn't get still. So I went to clean the kitchen while dad tried and BAM! Asleep he was. And he slept all night without it. He did wake up a few times and whine a little but it went very well. I washed the 3 that we have left, just in case I lose my mind today and need one. (Not in case I need one, in case he needs one! LOL) I think we may be finished with the pacifiers for the last time. No more babies in my future.
It is tough when they grow up. I spend a lot of time thinking that it will be easier when Nate gets older. But then times like this I get a little sad that he is probably never gonna take a pacifier again. It reminds me to savor all of those tough times of toddler hood and enjoy him while I can.
Now I get to focus on potty-training. yay do you hear the enthusiasm in my voice? I do NOT like that part of mothering. But I will embrace it and enjoy it because in a few months he will no longer need diapers and I will once again be sad. Happy too because of the money I will be saving, but really sad that I will no longer have a baby around. It truly is bitter sweet for me.
So my words of wisdom for today are:
Soak in every moment with your children. You can never get this day back!

It is bittersweet when they grow up. My word of advice for you - LOSE the pacifiers!! LOL! That way you won't be tempted to give back in. It took us losing our children's pacifiers for them to give them up. It took about 3 days and then that was the end. So hang in there for at least 2 -3 more days and you may find that he won't ask any more.
Have a wonderful day!

Even though it's bittersweet -- yah for Nate without his pacifier!!
