We've done it...

Taken away Maryella's pacifier, that is. I've been wanting to do it for awhile, but I kept putting it off. A couple weeks ago, I was ready to do it, but then she came down with a cold and I put it off. Well, I had thought I'd try again after our company left this weekend, but then Maryella got another cold. But I really want to start on a Monday so she will have a whole week before I leave her in the nursery at church without it. So, after thinking it over, I figured maybe this is a good time to do it after all. I mean, she can't breathe through her nose very well right now anyway, and she ends up spitting it out. Then I have to get up and find it during the night.
So last night was her first night without it. I put her to bed and she cried off and on for an hour!!! Oh, how it hurts to listen to that! But she finally fell asleep and I didn't hear from her again all night. She's already down for her nap this morning and she only cried for a couple minutes. Hopefully the next few nights won't be too bad!
