The Ralls house is officially pacifier free! Well, at least for the next 13-ish weeks. Our big girl Annie went cold turkey and has let go of the paci. After much crying, whining and throwing of massive temper tantrums (which were videotaped and will be blogged shortly), we think Annie has officially given up on using the binky. We started Operation Goodby Paci on Friday and were met with great success. She went right to sleep without a peep. After that, things got ugly for a few days. She slept through the night each night, but naps have been rough. For the first time in her 18 months, one week and three days of life, she missed a day's nap. Not pretty. Since Sunday, things have been looking up. She did add another pillow to her crib (the decorative one from her nearby, unused big girl bed), but at least it's not a paci. We're very proud of Annie, but mostly Matt and I are proud of ourselves for not giving in. Kids are hard sometimes. :)
Naptime with her two pillows, Kitty and Lovey ("Wovey" as Annie says) and sans paci! Please excuse the dirty shirt, no pants and awesome hairstyle. Things really go to hell in a handbasket when Matt is post-call for some reason.
