No More Paci!!

We are very happy and proud to say that Matthew has broken his need for a bedtime pacifier (he doesn't use one any other time)! We have been trying to take him off of it for a few months without success and a lot of screaming, but last week we decided to not give it to him. Instead we told him to lay down and go to sleep and surprisingly he did! Even more surprisingly he as done so for a week now! He still uses one occasionally at daycare for nap. That sleeping situation is much different than home and might take a little longer. Without it, he thinks he can get up and walk around while the other kids are sleeping. If he has it, he know he needs to sleep and once asleep it is out. This is a major accomplishment for us and we are super proud of our big boy! Next on our list: talking and potty training. We'll see how long each of those take!
