I’m officially 1 week pacifier-free!!

It all started out last Sunday when we were returning home from Mother’s Day dinner and I was busy playing with the CD cover that I accidentally dropped my pacifier in the car. When we reached home, Daddy and mummy tried to look for my pacifier but to no luck, it was probably stuck somewhere under the seats. As that’s my one and only pacifier, Daddy and mummy decided to take the opportunity to wean me out of it.

During bedtime mummy told me I had thrown it in the car and now it’s missing and that I don’t need it to go to bed since I’m a big girl now. Maybe I was too tired that night to “object” so mummy didn’t have much problems putting me to bed, but she was prepared for at least a few days of crying and fussing – which did happen that night as well as another 2 more nights. I was really frustrated in the middle of the night and cried for mummy’s attention, what’s worse is I only wanted mummy to attend to me and no one else! So poor mummy is zombified!

Anyway on Thurs and Fri nights I gave her no problems as I slept through the night soundly but during the weekend I again turned fussy and demanded her attention in the night. Mummy hopes that this is not due to the pacifier -cos so far I have not asked for my "zhu zhu" or have problems falling asleep, but hopes it's just another growing up phase I’m going through. She’s getting tired from the nightly wakes and hopes I revert back to my happy independent self! or maybe I can sense another person vying for her attention!

Nevertheless she's happy that I'm off the pacifier w/o much hassle.
