Abby, Zoë and Enzo

I am quite pleased with how smoothly this week without pacifiers has gone.  I hadn't even planned on weaning them from these at school naps, but that just went right along with everything else.  It does seem that, even though they are doing very well getting calmed down for sleep without their pacifiers,  this change has affected their behavior a bit.  They cling a little more to me when it's time to go to the nap room at school and they also want their "lovies" a little more often, especially when they are hurt or upset.  Before both girls would ask for their paci's first, and then their bunny or bear.  If they woke during the night they were more concerned with finding a pacifier than their stuffed animals but now they definitely have to know where these comforters are.  Yesterday Zoë thought that I forgot teddy bear at school and was really upset until she realized he was in our bag.  So, they still have an attachement, but not one that is going to damage their tooth formation so it's okay with me.
