REHAB

We sent Valerie to pacifier rehab last week. When we found her like this, we knew she was officially an addict.




You gotta admit, she's got some pretty mad skills in this picture. Giving a total cheesy smile while sucking on 2 pacifiers?? That's impressive.


So really, we finally parted with the pacifiers. They were becoming more of a pain then a help. She would scream and cry for them all the time, and we were getting really sick of it. I think I just didn't want to let go of the baby stage, but it was time to face reality! We told her the pacifier fairy took all of her "nigh-nights" and gave them to little babies who need them. She has actually done surprisingly well. She cries for a few minutes when we first lay her down for her naps and at bedtime, but then she's over it. She seems so much older now though! :(

She's not over it. She's just waiting til Sunday so she can dig one out of my diaper bag. And a chapstick.

Well, guess what. . .she IS getting older! Good idea, though. . .there must be some babies out there that needed those pacifiers!:)
