the no paci challenge...

Folks, I've reached another milestone that was a long time in coming. I admit, I was CRAZY about my pacifier (aka "paci")... I loved the thing. I've only been using it to go to sleep, but Mommy & Daddy have been putting off getting rid of the darn thing for far too long. So it was time for the no paci challenge.


Mommy made me a "no paci" chart, with the promise of an ice cream date at the end! You better believe THAT was a motivator! :)


We found all the paci's around the house and bagged them up to give to my little 10 month old friend, baby Maggie. (don't you think baby Maggie's going to looooove getting my used pacifiers?? I said, "and then baby Maggie can give them to another baby when she doesn't use a paci anymore!" Oh yes, the gift that keeps on giving...)


So when I woke up the next morning, I was so excited to put a sticker on my chart! And it sure wasn't long before we enjoyed some delicious ice cream together to celebrate my accomplishment.


No more paci's for me! I'm a big girl now!
