The Paci

We have a love, hate relationship with the pacifier. Currently it is hate for a couple of reasons. First, Hanna has several thousand dollars worth of metal in her mouth that we can trace back to many years of pacifier addiction. Second, Zac is going through withdrawal. Yes, I know he turns 4 in a few weeks and we should have done this long ago. But, we didn't. We had dreams of him realizing he was too big and offering to give it up willingly. Those dreams are shattered and reality is setting in.

Zac and his paci in happier times...

Sooooo, he is only getting his pacifier when he is laying down. Guess what that means? Yes, we have found him laying down a lot! Here for example (yes, that is the middle of his room):

and yes, that is a pink paci he stole from his sister.

So in addition to cheer practice, piano, playgrounds, swimming pools apparently we are running a rehab for pacifier addiction (please do not tell anyone, one patient is enough!). He is our baby, but it is time. Wish him luck (and us too)!
