The paci monster!

I decided I would phase out paci's this month for my two who still take them - Tyler and Whitney. We started it Sunday afternoon and we decided to try the method of cutting the tip off the paci's. They both did surprisingly well. Tyler didn't cry at all despite the fact that the paci was "broken" and could no longer be used. Whitney cried a little bit but not much. I expected her to not handle this transition as easily because she is not as good of a self-soother. She did, however, wake up 2 hours early from her nap. Tyler slept awesome with no problems. Then when we put them down for the night, Whitney cried for a minute but went right to bed with no problems at all through the night.

The next day, yesterday, I realized Tyler was very unphased by the phasing out of the paci because he is now holding it for comfort. Whitney on the other hand is really freaked out by them. When Craig put them down for bed last night, Whitney freaked out and ran from the paci as if maybe she has had nightmares about the paci. It is so funny to see how the two of them react so differently.
