Bye-Bye Paci...Well, more like see you at nap time

I think that any parent will tell you that when it comes to your kids, you just have to pick and choose your battles. Now with this being said, the paci battle is one that I am trying desperately to avoid fighting. Lillian LOVES her pacifiers, and honestly I love that she loves them. She always stops crying when you stick one in her mouth. And she always falls right to sleep when you put her down at night with one. Not to mention that they are a constant source of entertainment for her when we are driving in the car. She even likes to have them with her when she takes a bath. Plus, I think that it is so cute how she takes them out of her mouth and tries to share them buy shoving it in mine (she also tries to share her paci with Moxie... gross). But Shaun and I have come to the painful realization that she loves these pacifiers just a little too much. I mean she passionately loves them; it is ridiculous! She cannot sleep unless she has one in her mouth, one in each hand, and then another three or four sprinkled around her in the crib. So in an effort to get rid of the pacifiers before she can actually start asking for them, we decided that during the day they were off limits. She can only have them when she goes to bed for the night or at nap time. I know that it is not really taking them away from her, but it is a start right?

here are just a few pictures of playtime with paci...
