B, you are so much fun! The “Pah Monsters” are a riot. And, I think just some of the best psychology I’ve seen!

Remember, my brother Brion had one coupled with a blanket until he was four, and then one day just dropped it, never to be used again. She’s so smart, she’ll figure out when it’s no longer fashionable.

I’m still laughing…Just wonderful. Happy Father’s Day Toby! And to your dad and mine.

Don’t be worried about the pah – Morgan (who is now 15) had her nuk until she was almost 3. She actually had almost 20 of them! As her molars cut in she would chew on them and they would eventually crack. As they cracked we had a little ceramony to thrown it away. I explained to her when the last one cracked she would no longer have any nuks. She threw the last one away without a tear and never looked back. I guess the moral of this long tale, is that Bug will be done when she’s ready. Have fun now, it goes by sooo quickly!

Our baby’s name is Paz, so my two year old calls it a Pazzi-fier. It makes me laugh. I love the pah monsters. So cute.

So I may sound like a creepy stalker but I went back and looked at Baby Bug’s first month of life and it’s so funny to me how much she looks to same. Some people grow up and you’re like wow how did that happen but Baby Bug’s always been the same (and ADORABLE).

Wow! 62 comments? What a huge hit! So I just thought I’d share a bit about how we got rid of our pippies. I did let him decide to throw them in the trash, I just encouraged it a little. I started out cutting a little hole in the tip. He seemed fine with it until I cut a little more. He seemed confused. He tried to tell me something was wrong. I cut a little more off and that is when he started throwing them away. We were down to nap and bedtime and I did cut all the pippies at the same time. Worked great for us. I wish my second born would have taken a pippy!

When Dolly tuned 2.5, we took her soothers away except for when she was in bed/nap. Then for the next 6 months we told her that when she turned 3, she wouldn’t have a soother anymore because she’d be a big girl. We talked about it a lot. On her third birthday, I told her she was a big girl now and that she didn’t need a soother any more and she willingly gave it up and never asked for it back. There’s the odd time that I’ll catch her pretending she has one or playfully sucking her thumb or one of the other kids’ soothers, but thankfully it’s just a game and not regression. Now to start over with number two… somehow I don’t think it will be quite as easy!
