No Pacie - Night One

So today we did it. Though the big girl bed had not continued past the first two nights, we had planned that when Jane had her 2 year old dentist appointment that we would quit the pacifier, finally.

So the plan was, we go the dentist where Jane has her first teeth cleaning. Dr. Holden would tell Jane that she is a big girl who is too big for pacifiers. At the dentist they have a big baby bottle shaped bin where kids can put their pacifiers to "give to other babies who need them" and then the big girls and boys get to pick a toy from the special toy cupboard. We would augment this, by adding a special gift that would arrive from the "Pacie Fairy" (an idea we stole from our good friends Martin and Pareen) right before bed. We thought that bed time would be the hardest time, since it was the only time that Jane could consistently have her pacifier.

So we did it, and each step went off with out a hitch yesterday. At bed time there was a moment of great sorrow, but luckily the Pacie Fairy gift was a very snugly blanket and a cute pair of slippers, which were a great distraction. She asked to sleep in her crib, which we were fine with, and she slept all the way through to the morning, so...

After Day One the score is Brownsens: 1 and Pacifier: 0
