Suckered!

I had an appointment today, so I dropped the kids off at their grammy's for a few hours that included naptime. When I arrived to pick the kids up, grammy brought Aidan out from the room he was sleeping in and he had a binky in his mouth! He has not had his binky at home for several months and I thought that he would have completely forgotten about it, but I could not have been more wrong. I figured that maybe he found the paci in his bed, but Grammy reported that when she put Aidan to bed he asked for his paci, and not knowing whether or not he still used it at home, she gave it to him. Thankfully he did not ask for it at bedtime tonight!

Old Faithful

We have had a lot of trouble keeping track of pacifiers with Aidan. Reese was a thumbsucker so we never had to keep track of anything when we went out. If she got upset, she just stuck her thumb in her mouth and we continued on. We decided to enforce a pacifier with Aidan as a baby because Reese was (and still is) sucking her thumb and although we try to point it out to her when she does it, it is a hard habit to break. Thankfully, Aidan is pretty laid back and doesn't get upset or depend heavily upon his pacie, but it seems that I never have one when I need it. That is except for old faithful, a pink pacifier that came in a package of more appropriately "boy" colored pacies. Everybody gives me a hard time for keeping that one on hand, but it seems like all of the blue and green ones go missing, while the pink one cannot be lost!
