No More Paci for Reagan

We are now one week paci free! Kind of sad for mommy, but Reagan has done great. The first night she cried for about a minute and then fell asleep. There have been a few days I've seen her looking for it, but she never cried or fussed about it again.

How we did it...cold turkey! I know, that is so mean but Reagan is a kid who handled it very well. She had developed some eczema around her mouth that was only irritated by her paci and she had also developed some funky moodiness that seemed to be related to paci. So last Friday afternoon I just decided to put her down for her nap with out paci and BAM she went to sleep fine. With Rylee, I cut the tip off her paci so she couldn't suck on it and it took her a few more days but she too adjusted relatively easy.


You may also ask, "is she potty training?" No, she is not potty training but is showing interest in the potty. Rylee started to show interest in the potty at about 18 months too and by 2 years she was out of diapers. They are very different kids, but I can only pray that Reagan will be as easy to potty train as Rylee was.

Big Girl! The funny thing about the potty is that she is reading on it! She must have seen daddy doing the same thing! :) hehehe
