paci

Something from vacation that I forgot to write about. We have 3 paci's for E that just stay in his room. One goes to sleep with him and two on his dresser if we need to plug it in the middle of the night. Which hasn't happened in awhile. Anyway on vacation he had all 3 in his pack and play. Since those can't fall out he always had access to them. Several times when we went in there he would be standing with one in his mouth and one in each hand. Pretty cute sight esp since we have never had a paci baby before. We really try to limit his use of it and the plan is to take them at a year. He knows his paci stays in his crib so when I come in he spits it right out and then stands for me to grab him. heheh He goes days without using one other than in his crib but then sometimes he gets away with having one more. Lately he has been getting it more. I found the best use for a paci ever. I can't believe I have never heard of this before. Almost mad at paci mom friends for not pointing this out to me. At play places like Av's gymnastic or the pool he is mouthing everything!!! Random pool toys to balance beams to gross balls. Yuck. I found though if I give him his paci he sucks on that and doesn't put anything else in his mouth. The BEST use for a paci ever!!!! Maybe he will have it longer if need be! Had I knows this little secret with the girls I might have forced a paci on them!!! I did always wonder why kids had pacis at places like the pool. Now I know.
