So this weekend is officially the pacifier removal weekend. Why you might ask? Well, it's complicated and probably boring but it's my blog so too bad.1 - I just hate the stupid things. They are annoying and habit forming and I am particularly wary of having my kids fixated on having to have any one thing for fear that it will be lost or unavailable and we'll have a serious problem.
2 - They aren't good for them. Teeth are one thing but I just read they can also cause ear infections - huh? Wish I knew that one awhile ago.
3 - We did it (when I say we I mean I) too late last time. Brooke was old enough to know what was going on and vocalize about it. Lexi isn't, yet, but she's getting really close.
4 - I need a 4 day stretch where I can devote myself to doing it without fear of any kind of event interfering (read: I don't plan to stay up late, drink too much or have too much fun this weekend)
5 - I'm dreading it and am so sick of thinking about it I just want to do it and be done. Much like a lot of kid related things that you "have" to do.
John thinks it's too early because it's going to potentially affect his sleeping. Not bloody likely since he won't get up if she cries (when she cries) and he sleeps like the dead.
My mother believes in (always has) the less intervention is best methodology in which you just let the child do X until she is done. In my case this didn't work too well seeing that I sucked my thumb until I was 12. I am not kidding. Stop laughing Susie!
I know I tend to be a nazi (not in the murderous sense of the word) about all things parental but I think this is going to be an easy one. I've got a big plan with a binky throw away party tonight and everything. I'm sure it'll be a breeze!
