As of last week, LDC was still using a pacifier at nighttime. After researching on-line what is the best way to get rid of her pacifier, I found a suggestive list (with my comments italicized).
- Simply take them all away and let them throw a fit (not a bad option as long as there is plenty of red wine in the house for me)
- Cut off part of the nib, so they can't suck on it (sounds good)
- Tell them the dog pottied on it and take it out to the trash (hmmmm...I could put the blame on Tela)
- Put some hot sauce on the tip of the pacifier (we support Avery Island, but not in this situation)
- Tie it to a balloon and send it to the Binky Fairy (Mother Earth would not approve)

| Bedtime- night one recap LDC couldn't figure out what had happened to the pacifier. She stated, "It needs batteries" I stated, "A squirrel must have borrowed your binky" No crying. She was slightly frustrated but then...off to sleep. |
 |
| Bedtime- night two She stated, "It needs batteries" I stated, "A squirrel must have borrowed your binky again. You are very good at sharing. Thank you." No crying...slightly frustrated...off to sleep. |
 |
| Bedtime- night three She stated, "I don't want it" Mission completed. |
