Pacifier weaned!

The week before our baby moon (which was during labor day weekend) we had lost Noah's pacifier. I think there was a total of 20 that we had purchased over the course of the year and by the end we were left with two. One had already gone missing and the last one which had "momma's boy" written on it was no where to be found.

By that point, he wasn't toooooo dependent on it. We would shove it in his mouth if he was crying for no reason (lol) and when we put him to bed for the night. He would also grab it off the night table or wherever he found it and just put it in his mouth and suck on it for comfort.

I got nervous when I couldn't find it. Do I buy another one today? We're going on vacation in a week, we will definitely need something... but I decided to wait it out. Alhamdulillah he didn't need it during the week at daycare and even fell asleep without it!

But while we were packing for the trip at the end of the week, I found it...under the bed...as per usual. Ok let's take it with us, JUST IN CASE. We used it during the vacation here and there but I think because he had gone a week without it, it just didn't provide that same comfort. It didn't make him stop crying. He would spit it out and overall just didn't seem interested. That's a thumbs up, no? Well not when you have a tantrum throwing toddler while on vacation and are so very pregnant and dont know what to do! sigh,

Anyway, on the plane ride back home, I was seated by the window and towards the end of the flight, it fell out of his mouth and into an unreachable crevice. I was just so upset during the plane ride because he was throwing the BIGGEST tantrums in the world that I decided it was JUST NOT WORTH IT AND TIME TO LET GO!!! Maybe a sort of punishment for being such a brat on the plane, lol.


...and that was fine!!! BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN WITHOUT IT FOR 2 WHOLE MONTHS!!!
 YAY! Alhamdulillah.



Nowwwww it's time for the next mission, which should have been completed over 2-3 months ago...How do we get him to drink milk from a cup?!
