Night one...

I have done so much research on when and how to give up the paci that literally every page instead should just say do whatever you like! There is so much mixed messages and information I didn't know what to do...still don't really.

Thought 1 (thanks to my own thoughts and not those from the Internet): she only uses it to sleep.

Which provoked question 1: so should I let her wean herself from the paci?

Which brought about thought 2: she could be 5 if I do it that way and I'm not okay with that. 

Which provoked question 2: will her speech and teeth get messed up if she continues to use it even though she only just turned 2?

so when and how?

Do you see where I'm going with this? So, here I am testing the waters of paci weaning since there was really no research out there to help me one bit.

And here's what I have to say so far...

Night one of being a big girl (aka - going to sleep without a paci): success!

M: Paci now?

Me: Paci is for the babies.

M: Audrey?

Me: Yes, babies like Audrey.

M: pink paci...no.

Me: No pink paci.

M: blue paci...no.

Me: No blue paci.

M: close eyes.

Me: Yes, close your eyes now.

And this game went on for about 3 rounds. It gave her the giggles.

And then she was okay with that.

Fingers crossed.
