It's Official!!!
No, I am not pregnant... are you crazy!
Mason has officially been off the pacifier for a week!!
Last Friday was his two year appointment. His doctor suggested I get rid of the pacifier.
I love the pacifier... It was my key to Mason sleeping. Both Jacob and Iree never took it and I loved that Mason did. I was a little scared because he was very, very attached.
Here is how we did it!!
When I got back from the doctor on Friday I cut the tip off. I did the usually routine and put him down for a nap... he didn't even say anything. About five minutes passed and I was thinking "Oh, this is easy... I will just cut a little off each day and wallah... It will be gone." Just as I finished my thought I hear Mason. "Mommy Broken! Mommy Broken!" I went in and he was so sad. I didn't get him to nap that day and he didn't go to sleep until 11:00 p.m. and that was in my bed. (Mark was on a camp out) I stayed strong!!! The next day at bedtime Mark had a little talk with him and explained that they were all broken and he has to be a big boy and go to sleep without it... And he did! We haven't had a problem since. He usually says "Mommy pass broken" but then lays down.
Now that he doesn't have it in his mouth he is a little chatterbox... we love it.

That picture came up first and I thought for sure you were going to say you were pregnant. Congrats on getting Mason off the binky! Soda was a binky boy too. I put off taking his binky away for months because I thought it would be a nightmare. In the end it was about as easy as Mason. We just threw them away and told him they were lost and that was that. So much easier then I expected!
That's a precious story and I'm glad you've blogged it for your family history sake...Cute little kiddos with the cute things they say! Way to be strong mama and help him to progress
You got me! I thought you were pregnant. Isn't it that time again? (J/K) We might be done!!!
Dang, I thought you were prego too!
That's exactly how we broke Bailey of her pacifier & the exact same thing happened! I'm curious to see if this next baby will take one. :)
That's a tricky blog. I'm not gonna lie...I did think you were pregnant as well. Congrats on getting rid of the bink. I had thumb sucking issues but you can't just get rid of that! Don't worry I'm over that now ;)
Yes I was tricked by your post too. Good job on getting rid of the bink, I swear I see 7 yr olds walking around w/ one of those in their mouths. Your family is adorable.
