2 down, 1 to go...

...pacifiers that is! Tyler is becoming such a big boy and is weaning himself from the paci. I started noticing last week that he would throw his paci (a bad habit he had) only thing is he stopped screaming for it after he threw it. I would come in their room and find him asleep with the paci on the floor. He had been in the habit of throwing it and screaming for it for several weeks, but I stopped running in there to give it back to him every time he cried for it. So maybe we helped some with the weaning but I think Tyler mainly weaned himself because he just stopped showing an interest in it. Maybe he is just outgrowing it or maybe it is because they only used them during naps and bedtime. Whatever the reason, I am so happy he is moving past this habit/comforter. It has only been a couple of days and he may have a relapse and want it back again but hopefully not.

Oh and before you ask or say anything... he is not sucking his thumb or fingers either! Hannah did give up paci's a long time ago and only wants her 2 middle fingers on her left hand. However, she only sucks them during her sleep or if she is really tired/upset. Whitney is the only one left who is very much attached to her paci and this is during sleep only.
