Oh, we can see the light and it's beautiful! Mary is weaning off the pacifier successfully. Yea! Yesterday's nap was a struggle. She slept for about 40 min then woke up screaming. Usually, if we pick her up it settles her right down. Nope, not this time. She continued to cry and cry. It didn't matter which of us were holding her, so we put her back in her crib to cry it off. After about 20 minutes of pure angry screaming, she fell back asleep and slept for another 1 1/2 hrs. We ended up waking her so she would be able to sleep at night. Amazingly, she went to bed without a fuss and slept from 7:30pm all the way to 6:50am! Hallelujah!
I've noticed that since we began this weaning process, Mary has been more pleasant during the day. She used to have cranky moments, but now it seems that she's always in a good mood. Maybe she's just growing up, maybe I'm too sleep deprived, maybe I'm blocking all the bad moments and remembering only the good. Who knows, I'm just happy, happy, happy. So, today is day 4 and the pacifier is becoming a distant memory.
