Funny how some little things seem like such a big deal. Last night gave us one of those moments. Becca slept the entire night without her pipe! Okay, might seem like no big deal but for those of you with finger suckers or kids with pacifiers you will understand. This was not my plan, most of the time if my kids sleep I am perfectly okay with pacifiers, thumbs, blankets....anything for a good night rest. Anyway, at some point the other day Becca hit her lip and got a cut/fat lip. After nap time it looked terrible and since Becca's pipes are not exactly new I was worried that infection was going to set in. I was able to convince her early on that it was not going to be very good for her lip to sleep with her pipe at night. Surprisingly she was very agreeable, so I thought, Wow I should have done this sooner. Bedtime came and things were a little different. We had a total meltdown, one where she was inconsolable, which of course lead me to yelling... making me feel even worse. She managed to fall asleep-probably out of exhaustion. I was prepared to have to deal with her multiple times through out the night but surprise surprise she sleep the entire night....what a trooper! She got tons of kisses and hugs this morning. Sad to say nap time did not go so well today, basically another meltdown leading to a moment of quiet then playtime in bed. Oh well, at least she was in her room, and we can say good bye to the pacifiers.

Hurray!!! Noah still uses his a TON and I am scared for the day we say no more. I'm thinking that day needs to come sooner than later, but we'll see how it goes.
Hi Beth! I'm thinking the day needs to come REAL soon for us too! Calvin still sleeps with about 5 or 6 nippies. When I go in to check on him at night, he usually has one in his mouth and 2 or 3 stuck in random places on his body (on his forehead, on his cheek, in between his toes...)
