pacis or mommy?????

Yesterday am I had to wake E.  He had 3 pacis when I woke him.  One in his mouth and one in each hand.  This is like winning the lottery to him.  He was so happy.  He almost didn't want to get out of bed knowing I would make him keep the pacis there.  I cuddled with him for a minute and then tried to take them.  It was a no go, he cuddled into me and hid them.  I didn't have the heart to take them so we came downstairs.  We were running late so I wanted to set him down on the couch with the girls so I could get my stuff done.  He usually needs some cuddle time before he is ready to be on his own in the mornings.  I thought with his pacis he would be happy though.  I set him on the couch saying, "you have your pacis you don't need me."  I put him down then sat on the coffee table to put on cartoons for the girls. I heard him grunting and groaning and a few seconds later he was at my legs and wanting up.  I looked over at the couch and all 3 pacis had been left on the couch.  I think I was chosen over the pacis!!!!!!!!!!
