Truth be told, I've been dreading the day we had to get rid of the paci. Campbell had become rather attached to the ugly little thing. (By the way, Swayze prefers his paci but since it's so big and ugly she has to use something different and a little cuter.) Anyway... Ever since Swayze joined the family, Campbell has been walking around with a paci hanging out of his mouth and his "B" (blanket) wrapped around his neck. Cooper has been saying for months that we needed to get rid of the thing.. Campbell's teeth are just a little messed.. ok, so maybe they don't even touch in the front.. He's still cute. So, we decided Campbell had to get rid of the paci in December.. I chose this time because Cooper would be home for two weeks and I figured we could use teamwork... Actually I chose this time because I was afraid I would pull all my hair out and I didn't want to be bald by myself.. So why not let Cooper pull his out with me? And I honestly was prepared for it to take at least two weeks to get him off of it. Well, Monday I decided that it was time. I'm not really sure what came over me. I guess God gave me a little patience that day.. I don't have much. After a 45 minute ALL. OUT. FIT and I'm talking rolling around in the floor fit. The paci is GONE! Campbell has asked for it quite a few times.. I tell him we no longer have paci. His reply is "ahh" followed by "uh D paci" meaning.. does D (Cooper's dad) have a paci? Then we go through all the family members.. BeBe, Daddy, Mama, Cacky Pappy... "No baby, BeBe, Cacky, Daddy, Mama, and Pappy don't have pacis either." He then says "uh hayze?" "yes darlin, Swayze has a paci because she's a baby.. you're not a baby anymore" He says "ahh" and then we start all over. If I try to ignore it, he gets louder and louder. Long story short, the paci is gone. Next up.. getting him in a big boy bed...
