Cold Turkey

While Nicole & Woody were escaping to the mountains on Saturday, Nicole fell a couple of times and really busted her little lip. Other than that, they had a great time and returned happily after the fun in the outdoors.

However, by Sunday night it was apparent the lip was not healing very well. Upon consultation, we decided our treatment with normal antibiotic ointment was good, but the pacifier was hindering the healing. So, last night was spent without a pacifier for Nicole at night. She took it predictably by yelling at the top of her lungs for quite a while. I escaped to a shower while Woody monitored. She finally fell asleep and did sleep all night (PTL!).

However, today I have had to pretend like I do not understand her little words and motions for a pacifier. All pacifiers have been confiscated and locked up where she cannot find them (at least the ones that I could find). She happened to find one somewhere and it was removed from her presence.

Today at nap was the same story as last night. She just can't understand why her little friend that has been so faithful has been removed from her. Once the lip is healed, I know we are not going to find these again because I can't take the removal again!!
