No More Pacifier

Eric and I decided that this would be the weekend to get rid of Cate's pacifier. I have to admit we have been putting it off because she is so attached to it when she is sleeping. We were really nervous that she wouldn't do well with not having it. So we decided that the best course of action would be to go cold turkey. So for her nap time yesterday when she asked for her pacifier we told her "we don't have pacifiers here anymore". She was a little sad and it took her a little longer for her to fall asleep but she tolerated it pretty well. She only napped for one hour instead of two and woke up pretty cranky. So of course this had us very nervous for the night time and we almost decided to give in and let her have it at night. But we stayed strong and Cate slept all night without a peep. It was like she had already forgotten about having pacifiers. So hopefully she will keep this up. What a great little girl she is!!!
