Breaking of the Pacifier

The time had come to break William of his pacifier. I love parenting advice from other parents. When I was pregnant with William, Scott's former boss gave us a few parenting tips. This advice was one of the best tips we have received on little tricks. He told us that when he broke his kids of the pacifier, he would snip a little piece of the pacifier off each night. We thought we would give it a whirl. We took all of the other pacifiers and told William that they were Harrisons. Only the purple one is his. The first night we snipped a little piece off, he kept showing it to us and telling us it was broke. We explained that is what happens to pacifiers when boys get big. So after about a week, this is what his pacifier looks like. He obviously can't put it in his mouth anymore. He never cried for it and it was like he realized it was time to move on. He still likes to hold it before going to bed though. He says it is his teddy bears paci now. So his teddy bear sleeps with it next to him :) So cute! So I hope I pass this little tip onto the next parent who needs to break their child of the pacifier because it worked great for us!
