No Paci!

Well my little boy is all grown up....we are on night #5 without pacis! I know, I know....hes 3 1/2! Whats taken so long, you ask? He's never been attached to a blankie or stuffed animal, just his pacis. He loves them....He never would whine or fuss about naps or bedtime, because he knew his pacis were in his bed (we confined them to just the bed a long time ago). He has always held one in his hand and had the other one in his mouth. On Friday night, we lost one of them. I have no idea where it went. So I told Brody that he was going to have to sleep with just ONE paci that night. He said, "Well, lastday I didnt sleep with any pacis!" Translation: One time, I slept without my pacis! which i have no idea what he is talking about, because he has ALWAYS slept with them. So i jokingly said, "well give me the other one then!" And he handed it to me! I walked out of the room and said goodnight and Brian and i stood outside of his room and placed bets on how many seconds it would be before he called me in there to give him his paci. We waited for a few minutes and he did call me in there, but he never once asked for his paci, he just asked me to lay down with him. He went right to sleep! So the next morning i walked into his room cheering and yelling and he looked so proud of himself! I put candles in his breakfast that morning and sang "Happy No-Paci Day to you". Every morning we have added a candle to his breakfast and we told him that if he goes to whole week without pacis we will reward him at the end!
