Bye, Bye Paci Round 2

As parents, we like to count our successes with our children. Taking away Kaelyn's paci was easy as pie. Success! Taking away Rylan's paci hasn't been quite that easy. However, we are now a paci-free family once again. A week ago today, we accidentally forgot to send Ry to bed with his paci. But, we were ready to take it away anyhow, so it worked out just fine. I did feel a little guilty that first evening and the next morning because he was feeling a little under the weather, but Robbie assured me that he'd be able to breathe better without it anyhow. So after several rough bed times and nap times, we've now been without the beloved paci for a whole week! Rylan is still adjusting and figuring out what he's supposed to do while riding in the car, when trying to go to sleep, and just any time he needs a little soothing, but it's better each day. As hard as it is to say goodbye to something that kept him as a baby in our eyes, we are thankful he's not toddling around with it and putting it back in his mouth after dropping it everywhere. We love you Rylan!
