As Channing got bigger and her paci started looking smaller I was worried about taking it away. I knew the day would come that she'd have to give it up and I was worried about it. When she went for her check up at the dentist the hygenist told me that it was time and she suggested cutting off the tip of the paci. She said if we cut off a piece of the tip a little once a week or so she should just give it up. The first time she put her paci in her mouth after cutting of the tip was pretty sad. She kept telling us that her paci was broken and not working. We just told her it was the only one we had and we'd take it if she didn't want it but she didn't give up that easily.
I was noticing though that if we couldn't find the paci it was possible for her to go to sleep without it. I had gone out with the girls on Thursday night and Stefan couldn't find it so she went to bed without it. I went in her room when I got home though and gave it to her worrying that she might wake up and want it in the middle of the night. Friday she took it out of her room so for nap and bedtime we couldn't find it and she went to sleep without it again. I didn't find the paci for almost 4 days and when I finally found it, I just threw it away. She's never looked back and I'm thankful it wasn't a big deal. Just like that, we were done with it.
