No More Passy

Jeff and I have been talking about taking Tara's passy (pacifier :) away for a while now. I kept postponing it for various reasons; moving and then the possibility of moving again. Well, she is now 15 months old and still sucking on that thing. Every day Jeff would bring it up. "We need to take it away. She doesn't need it." I did agree with him but I was very reluctant. She sleeps so good with it...why ruin a good thing? I did a few trial runs earlier this week. I gave in every time to her. I could tell Jeff was getting a little annoyed with me for giving it to her but I just really wanted her to sleep...awful I know. ;) Two nights ago Jeff put her to bed with out it and to my surprise she went right to sleep! What a little stinker! Every time I had tried she would put up a big fuss, but when daddy does it she goes right to sleep. After she did that I decided she was done. The next day I put her down for her nap and she slept! But last night we put her down and she cried for about an hour. I didn't give in that time...mainly because the passy has been thrown away and the other one is behind the changing table which is way too heavy for me to move. So that's it. All done. My baby is growing up. *sniff* I am happy to be done with it though. No more worrying about grabbing it before we leave and no more searching for it if it gets lost behind the crib. Nice. :) No more passy. Now, how to get Gaber off the thumb. ??? Can't throw that away.
