Well, several of you have asked for a pacifier update. . .
We almost made it a week and I gave in yesterday. It was just too much on my little buddy. He did wonderful at night but I think he was just so tired from the day. He would not nap. He napped twice this week after crying for an hour. The other days I let him cry for two hours and that was pure torment. Yesterday, he was so tired but he just couldn't console himself. I felt so bad and he had big bags under his eyes and rosey red cheeks. I just couldn't handle it. Some may say, you only gave it 6 days but oh well, just call me a drop out, as long as my little boy is happy again.
It is now 11:15 am and he is still asleep and he went to bed at 8:30 last night. He's just so relieved to have his best pal back. If a pacifier can get his 3 hour naps back, I can take that. I figure he is only 22 months so we have some time to work on it. This is just some self-talk to make me feel better for not accomplishing a task. I have to feel in my heart that it is right for Kole. I know every kid is different. I just still feel like he is still my little baby so I haven't felt 100% in this whole process. All of this talk over a pacifier. Who would have thought a little thing could bring such emotion?!? Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Ours will be good now that pacie is back.

Amen. Every mom needs to do what she thinks is best. Kole is still so little to me. No one that sweet should go through tough things.
Enjoy your nap today! :)
Awww...poor guy! I would have given it back, too. Don't kick yourself. He'll give it up in time :)
As my doctor told me when I was trying to wean Gabe off his bottle, no one has ever taken their bottle to kindergarten. Or worn diapers. Or hidden their paci in their backpack. And what good would it do Kole to be off the pacifier if you kill each other in the process???!!! We will trade nearly any "milestone" for a good nap and a good night's sleep!!
