This past Saturday my girlfriend offered to watch the boys so Clayton and I could attend a friend's wedding. They were dropped off just after 1:00 with the plan for me to pick them up the next morning at 8:00. I of course arrived promptly at 8:00 to find Cohen scadoodling around Erin's living room. He was excited to see me and scooted right over.
Erin and I chatted a bit about how the night went and other normal girl things. She then told me that Cohen's pacifier had found a home atop the tv armoire in the living room. Before I could grab it she explained to me that he had gone done for a nap the day before without it at which point it was put up and pretty much forgotten about. Keep in mind Erin is not used to tracking down a pacifier at all times as none of her kids currently use them. Well come bed time Erin did remember, but went ahead and put him down without it. Magically he slept as normal with no peep regarding the pacifier.
I saw this as my opportunity to roll with it and see if it would stick. So I am proud to say that Cohen has not had a pacifier since early afternoon on Saturday 8/28. There have been a few moments here and there where you can tell he would be less whiny if he had it, but nothing this Momma can't handle.
Thanks again Erin for giving Cohen and I the kick start we needed to get that pacifier out of our lives. I am thinking maybe you should start a business with skills like that!
