Goodbye Pacifiers!!

After 17 months of Isla and Solomon being pacifier-dependent, we decided to get rid of them. Not to be mean, of course, but to encourage them to use their words. We decided to go "cold turkey" starting on a Sunday and about 5 days later they seemed to forget about them. Nighttime wasn't quite as bad as we thought it would be. There was a good amount of crying the first two days since they had to learn a new way of self-soothing. Fortunately, both babies did an awesome job and we are very proud of them and thrilled to say "goodbye" to the pacifiers in this household!
