We have been Paci Free for a whole month!!
Although Annabelle has asked for a Paci, she doesn't really seem to miss it!
Not sure why she did better the second time, but we'll take it!
Here's a look back at our Operation: No Paci Journey
Next up:

Operation: No Paci...Take 2
Day 3: 3/14/11
She did so good this day! She asked for it, but quickly forgot about it! Went to bed fussing, but not for her paci.
Day 4: 3/15/11
No mention of the P word! She went to bed fussing, not for her paci, but because she wanted to watch the Backyardigans. :)
Day 5: 3/16/11 thru Day 7: 3/18/11
Pretty sure she has forgotten about it! I declare this house Paci Free...Paci's have been thrown away!!
Day 8: 3/19/11
Annabelle asked about her paci this morning. No turning back...I will NOT buy anymore paci's!

Opeation: No Paci...Take 2?
I think (HOPE!) we are on the road to getting rid of the paci...again.
Annabelle has almost forgotten about her paci. She has not asked for it, whined for it, she's gone to bed without it, she hasn't even talked about it!
The last time she had her paci was Saturday morning.
Day 1: 3/12/11
We had plans to go to The Yellow River Game Ranch, she did not ask for it once!
That night we got home at her bedtime and she REALLY needed a bath, but it was not without a protest. I was really surprised she did not ask for her paci. She went to bed without a fuss.
Day 2: 3/13/11
Didn't ask for at all today! Even napped and went to bed without it!

Operation: No Paci
Ever since Annabelle found her paci, we have been letting her have it WHEN she asks for it. We do try to redirect her, but we don't deny her the paci.
With that being said, Annabelle did not take a paci all weekend! And usually will not ask for it until bedtime. So I do think we are in the right direction.

Operation: No Paci
Day 3: 1/15/11
She did OK this day. She fussed for it at nap time and bed time...also, asking for it multiple times.
Day 4: 1/16/11
This day was the worst! She was no happy, and while we were at dinner last night with my family, she found one in her bag...
Back to square 1..

Operation: No Paci
The Beginning:
Wednesday (1/12/11) night, Annabelle and I were looking at pictures of Gracie. Annabelle said "Gracie has Paci!", I told her she did and asked if she would like to give Gracie her paci's. Annabelle did, and didn't ask for it again that night. She went to bed without a fuss.
Day 1: 1/13/11
She woke and didn't even ask for her paci till the afternoon. She even went down for a nap without it.
When she woke up is when she started asking for it, but I would redirect her. Act like her baby was crying and we would console the baby, sing one of her favorite songs, or I would even act like I was crying (she always thinks that's funny).
That night was a different story, she did not want to go to bed without it. But she calmed down enough and I put her in her crib. She did fuss for about 5 minutes, but went to sleep.
Day 2: 1/14/11
Today was a little bit harder, because she really wanted her paci, but we did not give in. We would redirect her. Again, she didn't want to go to sleep without it. She fussed for about 2 minutes, then went to sleep.
She has now gone 48 hours without one, and we are holding our ground!
