How I was going to break the girls of this habit I wasn't sure. I wanted Leah to be done by the time she was 18 months but I wasn't ready for Sarah to be rid of hers. Let's be real- it was an instant mute button. Could I break one of the habit but not the other? I didn't think it would go over well since they shared pacifiers. If one of them would be crabby or cry, the other one would given them theirs. It really was a sweet gesture! So I just let the spit swapping continue!
I had no idea that yesterday was going to be the day. Grandma was watching the kids for the day and on the way to her house I remembered that I forgot to bring the pacifiers. I freaked. I searched the car high and low, my purse, everywhere. None to be found. I didn't want the girls to be difficult for grandma but she assured me they would be fine. I wasn't so convinced. But they were fine. They both went down for a nap without any problems. Could this really be the day?
I called Rob and told him to not give them their pipes that night. And yes, I apologized that he was going to be doing this alone since I had to work! He said Sarah didn't even make a peep. Leah cried and took awhile to fall asleep but finally did, without her pacifier. I think this might be the day!
Nap time today was not so easy. Leah threw a temper tantrum for about 15 minutes. I laid down with her and she eventually quieted and went to sleep. Sarah screamed for about 30 minutes but she too, finally went to sleep. I wasn't sure if this was going to happen today but I was determined not to give in!
Anxiety overcame me when it was time for bed. I was convinced they were not going to go down without a fight. Just when I thought I knew my girls they proved me WRONG! Not a peep! Nothing! We have conquered the pacifier! There is NO going back now! I am done searching for those little suckers. Yeah for Leah and Sarah.... and Mom and Dad!
